DESIGN BRIEF

Build around exploration with a shared spatial puzzle.

A prompt, not a full design

The combinations are intentionally specific enough to create friction but open enough that the resulting game can still become yours. Treat a generated brief as a prototype constraint, not a prescription.

Keep the core and reroll the rest mentally

If one part sparks an idea, ignore the pieces that do not fit. A useful generator should help you start making decisions, not replace them.
