MANIFOLD is a turn-based roguelike set inside a government research site modeled after a panopticon, built to contain entities unfit for rational space.

Observe and classify entities before their presence erodes your clarity — the only thing keeping you sane and alive. Descend floor by floor, manage your research tokens between floors, and reach the Null Sector, where ██████ has been waiting... to be remembered.
