sealed archive / playable bestiary
MiRiS keeps its games like living specimens: fed by rules, shaped by pressure, and released only when the creature learns to move.
circle manifesto
MiRiS is a game-making circle that treats imagination as a powerful animal. Designers, artists, builders, and testers gather around the same black table until a prototype shows bones, appetite, and consequence.
specimen plate
It has a silhouette the player can remember, a nervous system of mechanics, a habitat of levels, and a ritual by which it teaches you to survive inside it.
MiRiS cuts through mood until the playable verb is visible. If the verb does not bite, it is returned to the dark and rebuilt with new teeth.
ritual room
Playtests are not applause rooms. They are controlled feeding sessions where confusion, delight, hesitation, and mastery leave tracks in the black dust.
archive permission
miris.monster is the doorplate for that practice: a quiet bestiary of games grown with craft, restraint, and a little phosphor left under the skin.
