About this game

GAME FORM: Survival session with definite climax. Mechanic: turn-based discrete grid movement. Seeds: beetle, shadow, translate. Style: ukiyo-e woodblock. THE SHADOW SCARAB — a sacred beetle must cross a garden of moving light, hiding in shadow until dawn. Each move is discrete & reasoned: the wheel of light (woodblock waves) shifts, hunting crows step, and you translate night-glyphs to grow your carapace and call an Eclipse.
