How a round works

1. Share your Peer ID, connect to the other players, and let the root authority form automatically.
2. Use WASD to move to your assigned branch node or the Prompt Node at the center.
3. Stand in range and press E to start the task. Some tasks ask you to hold E, tap WASD, or use R during anneal spikes.
4. Each active round ends in a short vote window. Use the breaks to eject the hidden hallucinator before the final round closes.
5. Watch Context Window, Corruption, and Final Output. Corruption now rises on its own over time, so honest tasks and validation need to keep pushing it back down.

Station task types

• HOLD Hold E until the bar completes.
• SEQ Enter the shown W/A/S/D sequence.
• GRADIENT Move with W/A/S/D, then press E to step downhill.
• PACKER Use W/S to move, Q to toggle chunks, then hold E to lock in.
• BEAM Pick the strongest branch in each layer with W/A/S/D and E.
• EMBED Choose the vector closest to the target embedding.
• ANNEAL Hold E to cool, use R spikes, and spend time in both target bands.

Controls + role tips

• WASD move, E interact. Your role (Honest / Hallucinator) is assigned secretly each round.
• R triggers the hallucinator temperature spike. H hides the HUD. Esc opens this menu again.
• Root / Validator stays near the Prompt Node and cleanses corruption.
• Branch agents should live near their own station and keep its task progress healthy.
• Hallucinator poisons the prompt, sabotages stations, and wins by crashing the tree or pushing nonsense to completion.
