Field notes
The page lays out a four-beat loop: citizens reveal brief expressions, the player frames and captures one, a public billboard repeats it, and nearby citizens begin to imitate it. A linked character guide distinguishes 12 character reads and notes that similar reference poses are animation states rather than extra people. The site advertises mouse, touch, or trackpad controls and says the escalating behavior can lead to twelve endings.
