Field notes
A game’s status is represented by a flower that changes colour, making the library’s state visible at a glance. The page says repeat playthroughs retain the first run’s dates and hours; it also shows examples with platform, hours played, completion date, and a 100% marker. Bentos can be tied to plans such as a weekend or a season, with compartments sized according to game length.
