PSYCHOGORILLA

working title
v0.1 · WINDOWS

Single-room stealth. You share a prison cell with a gorilla. Finish your chores before the timer runs out, quietly enough that the gorilla doesn't snap. The core tension: get work done vs. don't wake the thing in the corner.

    v0.1
    One cell, one gorilla, five chores.
    New
    • 180-second timer; five chores to finish before the buzzer.
    • Heat builds from movement and from noisy tasks; silent tasks are slower but safer.
    • Cellmate escalates through four states: sleeping, pacing, fixated, enraged. Contact while enraged ends the run.
    The four-state escalation is the part that's working: you can feel the room get tighter without a single number on screen. Loss copy is still placeholder. May or may not get a v0.2: that's what skunkworks is for.

One entry per playable build. Each entry summarises
what's new, what's broken, and what it felt like to play.
