A browser-based focus timer wrapped around a text RPG: start a 25- or 50-minute session, work while your squad fights, then return to its results.

For
People using timed work or study sessions
Worth noticing
Finished sessions earn shards, experience, and recruits; leaving a tab open without a session pays a tenth.

Field notes

Sessions are offered in 25- or 50-minute blocks, with an optional note about the task; the page says finished sessions provide shards, experience, and recruits. Fighters map to chess roles, and the site says they play puzzles while the timer runs. A work log records what the user said they were doing, while the story is set in 2070 on Caïssa Station and opens by area.
