HOW TO PLAY
Move your finger / mouse (or arrows) — steer the paddle. The mote of light rebounds off you and breaks the black ice — one point a brick. Every few breaths a new row is added and the wall steps closer. Let the mote fall, or let the wall reach your row, and the vigil ends. M mutes.
THE STORY
On the last watchtower they keep a single mote of the old sun, and they throw it — gently, endlessly — against the ice that grows down from the sky. The ice always grows back. That is not the point. The point is the throwing.
