Fool your friends by altering words in famous text passages! Players "hide" in a paragraph of text by changing a word, and the seeker tries to find the alterations.

Featuring categories such as:

• Shakespeare
• Song Lyrics
• Internet Copypastas
• Delta Airlines Safety Presentation

This game was made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 60 with the theme Old Tech. I wasn't particularly inspired by the theme, but tried to lean into typewriters as a visual identity at least.

• Code: Python with PyGame, packaged for web with Pygbag
• Audio: MuseScore 3, Audacity
• Art: Paint.NET

No generative AI was used for game code, audio, or art. Everything was made with my little fleshy human fingers.

Post-compo changelogs:
(No game content has been added, and no sound or visuals have been changed. I have only fixed networking instability bugs that were not really possible for me to find until real players started playing the game.)

• 10/20/26: Fixed a server crash that could be caused by a race condition
• 10/20/26: Fixed a client soft-lock that could be caused by a race condition
• 10/20/26: Fixed a bug where the game would forget who was seeking and report it incorrectly in "Player 1 found Player 2" popups
• 10/20/26: Fixed a bug where the game would forget who was seeking and prematurely "lock in" the former seeker for the next round
