Field notes
The page frames the ship’s records and Rook’s memory as competing accounts, with the vessel’s AI, MORROW, adding another voice to the mystery. Its two main puzzle mechanisms are linking marked surfaces for teleportation and recording an action for later playback. The research decks are said to be designed for two operators, a detail that makes the player’s apparent solitude part of the setup. The project is explicitly marked in development.
