Ten rules from the same review band

Ten Steam listings from the October 9 review band. Each states a rule. None of these was played.

WEEK OF Oct 5, 2026
A two-page weekly planner headed 第一周 · 物理方向 · 理科班 · 住校. The large line asks what this week's time is for, and the sentence under it says writing the direction will not finish the week.ON THE COVER / 高三最后300天

FROM THE EDITOR

A note before
the rabbit hole.

These ten are not a ranking. They are the next listings, after the three already drafted, whose store pages stated a rule precise enough to write down. The walk was newest Steam games tagged Indie, kept when an all-language, all-purchase review total fell between 50 and 1,000 on October 9. Most names stayed on the list. App Store and Play Store names stayed on theirs. A game page here needs a Steam app id, and those rating counts are not this review total.

ForgeTax spends a finished sword on a relic or on the dragon. It’s Fine spends an hour of the last day on sleep, and the project manager is a dog. Scapewatch says the character keeps the queue after the tab closes. Those three are about leaving a process running. They are not the same process.

Chomp Garden has three plants and one lamp. The Magus Circle says a crude sigil still casts, and offers to slow time while you draw. Doggy Don’t Care scores the mess. Cozy Farm lets different crops share one sorting streak and prints no deadline. Bloodspill keeps the fight to one hit and lets the mode change the score.

高三最后300天 puts the limit on the planner itself: writing the week does not finish it. 崇祯直聘 is in early access, with a county line and a border line, and with no morality score. The silver still has to come from a named place.

None of the ten was played. Each screenshot is the store’s, and each caption says what the frame does not show.

Doggy Don't Care

Doggy Don't Care scores the mess.

Charlie is home alone. Mischievous badges are puzzles. The printed examples are a toilet-paper trail and oily paw prints, and the page also sends you into his dreams.
