Playtest

A Nevermore.
A long night.

Peck is a game about a crow on a bad night. You have one verb: you move. The bird does its own pecking. Hold the roost, plant stones, hatch Baby Jays, stack powers, and last until dawn.

Playtest build. Work in progress, shared so we can hear how it plays.

What to try

One verb

You only move. The bird pecks on its own. Steer into range, stay out of reach, and see whether that is enough.

The roost

From Night 2 a stump needs defending. Stand on it to mend. It can fall without ending the night.

Stones and Jays

From Night 3, runes plant stones (keys 1 to 4, then click the ground) and three eggs call a Baby Jay (C).

Powers

Gold fills the bar. Each level offers three powers (keys 1 to 3). Some of them stack into something loud.
