Requiem
Circuit

Graze a dying machine god’s barrage, complete a deliberate chord, and make that choice sound and fight differently.

Requiem Circuit runtime onboarding screen showing the Cantor craft, named note collection, and machine-cathedral arena. — The accepted desktop portrait runtime introduces the Cantor craft, named notes, and a single bounded encounter.

The current vertical slice

Turn a barrage into an arrangement.

Read the family

Lumen moves in pale-gold arcs, Cinder in ember-orange fans, and Vesper in violet segmented ribbons.

Graze for notes

Thread a safe lane to collect named tonal notes without collapsing the encounter into a generic meter.

Commit a chord

Protect or finish a three-note chord; the exact pairing becomes both a weapon and a layer of the funeral arrangement.

Runtime captures

The choice stays visible.

These are accepted desktop runtime captures from the completed slice—not direction art, a trailer, or a public release claim.

**Read the notes**Runtime evidence: onboarding and named-note graze read.

**Choose the chord**Runtime evidence: an exact three-note chord decision.

**Resolve the rite**Runtime evidence: actual-scene success playtest.

Requiem Circuit runtime capture showing the explicit muted and reduced-motion state. — Muted and reduced-motion presentation remain explicit without changing the tested encounter authority.

A deliberate recovery boundary

Feedback can quiet down. The rules do not.

The accepted slice distinguishes incomplete, recovery, terminal failure, and success results. Its muted/reduced-motion route keeps the combat-and-arrangement decision legible while preserving the deterministic core.

Prototype status

Completed vertical-slice evidence, not a download.

This is one desktop-validated portrait encounter. The title is provisional; the evidence does not claim iOS or device behavior, export, Apple signing, store availability, legal clearance, or public release.

No external playtesting, analytics, accounts, commerce, network services, or performance claims are made here.
