    phone sends a push notification of names and contact numbers

    “Siri what is this?”

    “It’s a list of knocker ups you can hire to wake you up and are looking for new clients”

    Knocker ups’ comment on this story: “This is a horror story to a techbro and a feel-good comedy to anyone with a sense of human decency”

  • Thank you for the detailed response. The gameplay loop I have in mind is a puzzle game where the thing you’re trying to do is usually easy, but you’re limited in some way that makes it hard. An example I gave in another comment is : write a computer program that adds two numbers, but you’re not allowed to use the + symbol.

    I really like your idea of “beneficial spell”. I think maybe the knight and enemies are autonomous, and the princess can only do a single action to make the knight succeed.

    I remember playing a game like this. It’s based on Conway’s game of life. The goal is to flip a single cell to make all the cells die after a certain number of turns.
