Reincarceration

Earth is a prison and you are an inmate cycling through rebirths.

You move around a 36-space ring. Every space is a life you can be born

into. You claim them, you collect rent from the others, and you try to

assemble the three fragments that let you leave.

There are two currencies. Light is ordinary money. Dark is free power —

refuse to pay rent, bribe the warden, steal someone's channel, no cost

today. But every point of Dark past four drains Light each time you pass

Intake, and raises the bar you have to clear to get out. The ward with

the highest rent in the game is also the one that makes escape

impossible while you own it.

When you have all three fragments you get exactly one shot at parole.

The other inmates can burn their own Dark to veto it.

Single player against three bots with different consciences: a Saint who

never takes Dark, a Sinner who always does, a Pragmatist who breaks when

broke. About 40 minutes. No sign-up, no install, plays in the browser.

Of the matches played so far, most end in a breakout. A few people never

get out at all.
