Field notes
The site describes a division of labor between the characters, a separate Claude referee, and code that rolls dice and maintains the town’s official state. Each resident receives only a briefing; after every five rounds, older events are compressed into that character’s own shorter memories. The homepage also identifies a story version as coming soon, while pointing readers to a day-by-day account on The Run.
