Field notes
The entry lays out a chain of claims: rumors of STALE in early-2000s gaming magazines, WONDERSTRUCK's 2010 release and 2015 abandonment, then leaked files and a shrinking archive. Its linked materials include a timeline, cipher, music, a Source Engine terminology page, and guidance on identifying official content. The page says almost all relevant resources are now lost and invites people with files or leads to contact the project; the extract does not independently verify that history.
