Phase 02

Six planets that want to agree, in one sky shared by everyone who visits. Hang bells on their orbits; each rings when its planet passes. What you leave stays, fainter and fainter, for whoever comes next. It can play in the background.

how to play

Tap an orbit

Hang a bell there.

Tap a bell you hung this visit

Raise its note; past the top it starts again at the bottom. A bell that took a worn-out place keeps its note. Bells from an earlier visit wear like anyone's.

Tap someone else's twice

Wear it. It grows quieter, and once worn out gives its place to a new bell that keeps its note. A new bell rings ten minutes before it can be worn.

Swipe across

Strum the orbits you cross.

Touch the sun

It wakes for everyone: a wave of light reads the sky outwards, and every orbit's bells sound in turn. Then it rests half a minute.

Drag a planet

Pull it out of time. Flick it to leave it running fast or slow; its trail shows how fast. The others pull it back over minutes.

Keys

how it thinks

1. Nothing is undone, nothing stays loud. Bells fade and wear, but a worn-out bell leaves its note and a ring behind: every place remembers what rang there.
2. You are never alone. The people who came before are still here, as the bells they hung.
3. The room wants to agree; the music is in the disagreement. Left alone the planets fall into step. Pulled apart, they phase.
4. Felt, never seen. No names, no cursors. You know others only by what they left and the orbits they strum.
5. More people, more history, not more noise. Six orbits, every note in one key; a crowded orbit grows denser, never louder.
6. An experience before a mechanism. Worth watching and hearing without being explained.
7. Time is the material. A ring, a turn of twelve seconds, a bell fading over days, and the faint floor it never falls below.
