"Pattern Recognition"
She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."
"THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!"

"Dark Ages"
The first couple of nights after they cut the power were just scary. Then the looting and burning began. Streets in flames. And that smell. You didn’t have to die to go to hell.

not the most creative effect, but I had fun making this pseudo-voronoi diagram thingy. haven't touched PICO-8 or sizecoding properly in around a year so it's good to get back to it. 299 bytes postcart, excluding the header comments for the cart image

"Spring"
The problem with synthoids was that they simply thought too much, overly fixated on optimization. The organics played the long game, dancing patiently since the dawn of time.
