Storage

Beasts you own are kept in Your Warehouse between demonstrations. Pens are cleaned weekly. Records are kept forever.

Demonstrations take place at the loading dock. Demonstrations only: the dock has union rules.

The injury report

After every demonstration your beast comes home with a note. These are the notes we send most often.

  • Spike bent. Cosmetic. Probably.
  • One tentacle is sulking. It will be spoken to.
  • Hat lost in the arena. Hat has been re-ordered. Hat enjoys this.
  • Minor scorching to the finish. The finish had it coming.
  • Quill count: 214. Quill count before: 215. We do not discuss the quill.
  • Left side dented. Right side smug about it.
  • Ink levels low. Dignity levels lower.
  • A wing is folded at an angle the manual calls 'advanced'.
  • Monster reports a 'weird tingle.' Monster has been told this is normal.
  • Returned slightly damp. No explanation available. No explanation requested.

The real mailing list

Nothing in this shop can be bought yet.

The catalog is fiction until the game ships. Leave an address and the studio will write once, when the Steam page opens, and rarely after that. It goes on the Keeper’s List, which the studio shares across its games.
