We hash the visible text on every check, so a redesign registers and a rotating advert does not. An app that has not changed in a long time is not necessarily abandoned — but it is a fact worth knowing before you depend on it.

What it does

A browser game built from restored plates of The Naturalist's Library. Each plate is an encounter: you offer water, fruit or meat, give nothing, or go for the kill, and the next animal appears. The aim is to survive as long as possible. Illustrations are credited to Nicholas Rougeux's restorations, released CC0.

What people say

No reviews yet.

We would rather show none than invent them.

Embed this status

Put it in your README. It updates itself every time we check, and links to your verification record — evidence a stranger can read, not a page selling them something.
