Feed it your culture.
It becomes someone.
Then it fights.

something unlicensed is nesting in your computer. It reads what you give it, becomes a character out of it, keeps 27 desk tools on its belt, and settles arguments in a pit no model gets to referee.

27 TOOLS
A utility belt that happens to be alive — notepad, focus, vaults, synthesized lofi.
0 SERVERS
No password or profile, no telemetry on a free copy, every sense blindfolded until you say so.
6 FAMILIES
Deterministic bouts in the Pit. Same seed, same fight, every single time.
§01

The loop

one artifact in, a character out

01
Feed
Drop in a song, a meme, a screenshot, a link.
02
Parse
It reads what the thing means, not what it shows.
03
Drift
Twelve stats shift. A compass leans toward a family.
04
Commit
You pick the moment. The form locks in.
05
Fight
Deterministic battles — no model decides who wins.

tube 02 · at the desk

Every tool is a thing it physically does on your desktop. The radio synthesizes each note, and streams nothing until you tune a live station.

BYOKFOREVER

Bring your own API key and it stays free forever. There is no subscription, no password or profile, no per-character DLC, and no real-money trading — not now and not later.

* Optional packs are sold separately, and the store marks which is which with a dot on every tile. Species packs add new families your Scramp can lean toward, settle into and mutate — so they do change what it can become. Stray packs are an animal you adopt: its own creature on your desktop, with its own animations, that never adapts and never fights.Prop packs are appearance only, worn by a Scramp you already own. None of them is required: the core loop, every tool and all 6 available families are in the one purchase, and nothing you already own stops working. Packs work on the free tier too — the purchase is about how many Scramps you keep at once, not about which packs you may buy.

§07

Constraints, not preferences

held to, not drifted toward

✓ Local-first
It runs on your machine. Your files stay on your machine.
✓ Blindfolded by default
Every sense is off until you turn it on, and tighten-only after.
✓ No password or profile
Free copies need no email. Purchase recovery uses a short-lived link.
✓ Audio is synthesized
The radio generates every note. Live stations stream only if you tune one.
✓ Deterministic battles
Same inputs, same outcome. No model decides who wins.
✓ Editable assets
The sprites are files on disk. Modding is the supported path.
