# Siblings

> A small browser game for two people who have to share a keyboard, set in the world of *The Drowned Stack* and *Who Lives Between? A Field Guide to the Children of the Second Stack* by Kirstin Stevens (Novacene Press, 2026).

## What it is

One house drawn in section: bathroom, music room, kitchen, hall, and a cellar that fills and empties with the tide. The rule of the house is *windows before doors*: every place you can go is first a place you can only see. Nothing on screen says it is a quest. If you hear something, go and see. If somebody taps, tap back.

Two players share one keyboard (arrows and Enter; W A S D and E). Several things in the house only happen when both siblings are in the right place at once. It can be finished alone, but it is better with two.

## Status

A prototype, shared early. Built in November 2026. The ending is deliberately open: nobody has decided how the Keeper gets back.
