THE BACKROOM

The Backroom is where Raptoraem puts everything too entertaining to be legal. Generate an Iron Code citation, play the latest illicit diversion and discover precisely how quickly a harmless decision can become a criminal record.

If anyone asks, Stryx was never here.

Her score on the arcade machine proves nothing.

NOTE: No personal information, answers, scores, or gameplay activity is saved or transmitted by these games. Play as often—and waste as much time—as you like.

WHICH STRAIT CLAIMS YOU?

WHICH STRAIT CLAIMS YOU?

// WARD ASSIGNMENT — INTAKE FORM

WHICH STRAIT CLAIMS YOU

Raptoraem does not care where you think you belong. The city judges by appetite, instinct and what you do when someone locks the door.

Answer honestly. The Straits can smell aspiration.

Intake Notice

Ten questions. There are no wrong answers, only revealing ones. At the end the city assigns you a Strait, and the city does not hear appeals.

  • Ten questions, one answer each.
  • Answers are shuffled every time you sit down.
  • A tie is settled by an eleventh question.
  • Nothing you pick is stored or sent anywhere.

CROSS THE VESPER GATES

CROSS THE VESPER GATES

// TIDE WINDOW — CROSSING PERMIT

CROSS THE VESPER GATE

Pick what to carry across at low tide. Weight, weather and patrol activity decide whether you reach the far side before the sea comes back.

The Spine does not wait, and the Keepers do not knock.

Crossing Notice

The Spine surfaces twice a day and stays up for as long as it feels like. Everything you carry across it is a bet against the water.

  • WeightHeavier loads pay better and move slower. Twenty-five units is all you can shoulder.
  • TideRises at a fixed rate whether you're walking or not. At full, the crossing is gone.
  • PatrolsKeepers sweep the span on no schedule. You get a moment's warning — stop moving before it passes, or hope they miss you.
  • StormsGnasher weather slows you down and makes you harder to see. Whether that's a gift depends on the tide.

// SHRINE LOG — A CASTING OF THREE THREADS

CONSULT THE LOOMMISTRESS

Shrine Notice

The Loommistress does not predict the future. She reads the tensions already gathering in the weave.

  • Sit. Wash your hands. Do not touch the shrine loom.
  • Three threads are drawn: one trailing behind you,
  • one across your path, one already tangled in the Code.
  • Nothing you draw is stored or sent anywhere.

The reading is not a sentence. What you do after receiving it may become one.
