The Den

A tiny companion that explores Output Lag with you, digging up collectibles themed to whatever you're reading.

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 per page, up to twelve a day.
  • Rarity is real: some finds are uncommon, a few are rare, and about one dig in forty turns up a shiny.
  • Your collection lives entirely in this browser. No account, nothing sent anywhere — clear your browser data and the shelf resets, 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.
