Talon Grasp Games is working on its first publication. Rather than spread thin, everything the studio has goes into E-Scape until it is the game we want to run ourselves.

01SettingGhosts, partitions, and the long way down.

02RulesStart strong. Get weaker. Buy it back.
The central conceit is the constant battle to stave off digital degradation. Characters don't begin weak and grow strong; they start strong and get weaker. XP buys back levels lost to Glitches and Bugs, while test results let PCs slowly improve.
