About this game

GAME FORM: Sandbox / meditative. Mechanic: stealth / strategy (LOS + fog + turn-based planning). Input: type-only. Theme: volcanic / geothermal. Style: chalkboard cross-section diagram. Seeds: vouch, echo, coral. "Embertide Reef" — a meditative cross-section of a geothermal seafloor, chalked onto a classroom board. You grow a coral reef around volcanic vents by TYPING the word chalked on each reef-edge cell. Lurkers patrol with a line of sight; coral and rock block their gaze, so you plan WHERE to grow. "echo" pings the dark to reveal the map; "vouch" promotes an elder coral whose presence shelters its neighbours from watching eyes; "tide" lets a turn pass so patrols drift on. No failure — the reef just grows.
