Field notes
Notes from the Keeper.
Fantery is a small independent workshop disguised as a cabinet of impossible artifacts. Each drawer holds an original browser game. Open one, learn its odd rule, then leave when the rule has said enough.
Why tiny?
A small game has little room to hide its idea. Fantery gives each artifact one rule, a clear way in, and only the length that rule can carry.
Why the browser?
A browser turns a game into a link. You can open it on a machine you already have, send the same artifact to someone else, and return to its permanent record later.
How the Cabinet is kept
- One impossible rule per game, taken completely seriously.
- One permanent FA number for every catalogued artifact.
- A label says Playable only when a release exists.
- Workshop labels stay separate from the playable Cabinet.
Who keeps the cabinet?
A small independent workshop maintains the catalog, the play frame, and each game source that has been recovered into the Cabinet. The Keeper chooses what receives a label and what stays on the workbench.
New playable records appear in the quiet artifact feed.
