This is a fast game for two players based on the minified ruleset of Blades in the Dark. One player is an experimental unit — a robot that was marked for scrap after it developed strange behavior in its test runs.  Another is the Game Master, who describes what is wrong with the facility and how everything reacts to the unit.

Made for One-Page Weekender 2026.
