You Arrived Mid-Sequence
You don’t need to understand everything to be here.
This world unfolds whether you are paying attention or not. Signals surface. Patterns form. Meaning arrives late.
Nothing here is meant to be consumed in one sitting. What you see today is a slice — incomplete, unstable, and already shifting. Some things disappear before they are fully understood.
How This World Moves
Events do not announce themselves. Some pass quietly. Others leave residue — fragments, distortions, artifacts that only make sense after enough time has passed.
There is no correct path through this world. You can step away. You can return weeks later. The state will not reset for you.
About Patch
Patch is not an interface built to guide you. He exists inside the system, subject to its limits and blind spots.
When Patch releases material, it is because withholding it would create more damage than exposure. What he knows — and what he chooses to surface — depends entirely on when you arrive.
February 13
On February 13, the world enters its active state.
This is not a launch. Nothing opens. No one is waiting.
From that point forward, actions propagate. Characters move. Consequences accumulate. The system does not pause for understanding.
Artifacts
Artifacts are residues of contact — physical drops, recovered files, fragments tied to moments that cannot be repeated.
Possession does not imply completion. It confirms presence. It marks that you intersected with the system before it hardened.
From here on, observation stops being neutral.
