Sessions

5–12 minutes

Designed for ritual play: meaningful time, compact stories.

Creators

Community‑first

Quick editors and shared prompts shorten the loop from idea to play.

How it works — short systems, emergent depth

Play sessions combine a curated map, a small rule set and ephemeral goals. Mechanics are modular: triggers, modifiers and brief narrative hooks combine to create emergent moments that feel deeper than their runtime.

  • Seeded levels that twist each play.
  • Rapid scoring that rewards risk and novel play.
  • Light social hooks: short replays and rivalry badges.
