The Den
A tiny companion that explores Output Lag with you, digging up collectibles themed to whatever you're reading.
Skills
Each find earns 1 XP for the matching skill: Gathering on Wire news, Mining on guides, and Combat on reviews, where your companion battles a monster from the reviewed game.
Nothing on the shelf yet. Adopt your companion, then go read something. Every article, review, and guide hides exactly one collectible.
How this works
- Every article, review, and guide on the site hides exactly one collectible, themed to the page. Your companion digs it up while you read. One find per page, up to twelve a day.
- Rarity is real: some finds are uncommon, a few are rare, and roughly one find in a thousand turns up shiny. If you ever see one, screenshot it.
- Your collection lives entirely in this browser. No account, and nothing is sent anywhere. Clearing your browser data resets the shelf, so treat it like a save file.
- Motion respects your system settings: with reduced motion on, your companion sits still and finds become a quiet button.
