Savanna After Dark

A survival game of three minutes: gather wood, feed the fire, and keep the circle of light wide enough to hold off what is beyond it.

What is playing against you

Nothing plays against you — obstacles arrive on a timer.

No opponent — a timer or a spawner
Nothing is playing against you. There is no opponent in this game at all — no model of you, no plan, no choices being weighed. What feels like an adversary is a spawn timer and a random number generator: obstacles appear on a schedule that tightens as your score rises. This is worth noticing precisely because it can feel otherwise. Difficulty that rises with time reads as an opponent responding to you, and it is not.

What this version is not

Invented. The fire-and-darkness mechanic is a game device, not a description of how anyone actually camps or herds.
