7 in the room.
One way out.

Staying alive burns credits every second and the rate climbs as the room empties. Nobody can buy more. The only way to win is to be the last one who has not left.

MEEK HAMMER
+ DAMP PEBBLE

“DAMP PEBBLE, let's vow to outlast the rest together.”

MEEK HAMMER · 00:22

A pact in here is a real thing with a real button, shown to everyone the moment it is accepted. Nothing enforces it. Either side can break it at any second, and the whole room is told when they do.

The turn02:41

Half of them
were gone.

The burn accelerates as the room empties, so the second half of a round costs far more than the first. Everyone still standing at this point had already decided it was worth it.
