LINER NOTES FROM THE OTHER SIDE
The record vault.
References you earn by playing. Every song title opens a little more of the carnival.
THE SECOND DECK · SIX PLAYABLE RULE TWISTS
Original game interpretationsThe whole catalog belongs in the plan.
Both decks are represented in this build. The design book also maps sideshows, non-card albums, Forgotten Freshness, and song-based attractions for the full game. New mechanics and story beats are proposals, not claims about ICP canon.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW
Easy to learn.
Hard to leave.
Use the arrow keys to move and Space to dash. Get close to dummies, chickens, mirrors, or fireballs: your character attacks, catches, and deflects automatically. Follow the glowing marker to your next objective. On a phone, steer with the thumbstick and tap Dash. Manual attacks and mouse controls are also available.
Win the midway
Collect tickets and play the attraction's objective. Dash through hazards or bump rivals to steal a ticket. Hits cost tickets, then put you straight back in the action.
Claim the crown
Each round awards 5, 3, 2, or 1 cup points by place. Ties share points. Highest cup total wins; tied champions share the crown.
Come back curious
The Daily Midway changes with your local calendar date. Beat your personal best, hunt six song secrets, and earn permanent cosmetic looks. No disappearing rewards or streak penalties.

Controls, sound & display
Auto attack handles nearby attraction targets and shows an objective marker. Manual attacks still work, including shoving rivals. Chill mode has slower bots and gentler hit penalties. Display mode changes animation only. Completed rounds save automatically; Continue Run restarts the attraction you left.
Build notes
Progress is saved in this browser on this device. Daily scores are personal, not an online leaderboard. Phone controls appear automatically on touchscreens. Portrait and landscape layouts are supported; sideways gives the arena more room. Touch and mouse control the first human seat. Phone play is solo with bots; online rooms are not included. Music and effects are original synthesized audio. Actual card artwork and researched character adaptations are included for this local concept. No ICP recordings, lyrics, cloned voices, or endorsements are included.
