World Machines — Playable Sketches

Three demos, three ways into the same corpus. Best in portrait on a phone or any desktop browser.

The Interregnum
Turn-based strategy · 10–15 min

Steward a Hansa-like league, 1450–1650, while the world that made your power meaningful is replaced by one that doesn't need your permission. You cannot blockade a bourse.

Deviation Blue
Dialogue RPG · one night · 15–20 min

You keep the city's Prime Radiant. Tonight the Syndics want to know why a gray quartz brick just out-sang two centuries of mastery. Six voices in your head have opinions.

The Brigata
Refuge-tending · one run · 10–15 min

1348. The city smokes on the horizon. Tend the villa, tell the stories, keep the world from noticing how lovely it all is — and know when to walk down the hill.
