Why it's on the shelf
The core loop is object search: inspect the room, find each named item, and finish before time runs out. Clues mode removes suspect choices and makes every named object the target, while strikes add pressure to each miss. Volcanic visuals use charred basalt, lava orange, ember gold, and ash grey to keep the room readable but severe. It suits players who like close looking, fast clicks, and a visible clock.
How to play
Click or tap to inspect a clue. Click the frame once if the game needs keyboard focus, and use the fullscreen button above for a bigger view.
