                Episode Four: The Princess of Swirling Cinders                  “Good morning, Elena! What’re ya working on? Another hydraulic manifold?” asked a friendly voice from the door to the lab.                Elena giggled and nodded as she said, “Yes of course, of course of course! I’ve got a pretty long connection here, but it’s strong enough! I mean it’s not perfect. One of the pistons doesn’t fit, so we’re losing lots of power there. But it’s good other than that! One of the pneumatic shafts actually gets really close to being a vacuum, but it got stuck a little while ago. It keeps getting stuck! I just wanna finish this design. I’m tired of this design! How about you? How are you? Adder! You’re supposed to be my partner! Why are you always gone?”       ...

Interitus: Manifest Mission Statement

  Our goal with Interitus: Manifest is to make a fun and exciting game with a vibrant community, open to anyone regardless of their background or income. We intend to foster creativity through our cards, both in the stories which drive them and the strategies that players will develop.

Interitus: Manifest Image Usage Statement

When we first began Interitus: Manifest as a game between friends, we used images which were AI-generated or AI-enhanced and then very heavily-photoshopped. We hoped that these images would transition to commissioned artwork, but financial constraints have prevented replacement for now. As per our mission statement , we are committed to providing an exciting game to customers for an affordable price. We do not currently have the funds to replace these images without increasing the cost to customers. Our hope is that down the line, we can use a portion of our profits to commission real artists for artwork of future cards (or future printings of old cards).

   Manifest: A Shattered Future                Episode Three: The Adriatic Emblem                  “Do you have a favorite spell card?” Elena asked with a quizzical excitement in her light brown eyes.                Romulo stood a short distance away with his back against the white wall of the infirmary, seeming to ponder an answer to her question. While they listened to the quiet din of patients and nurses speaking in the background, Elena stood beside her cot with her cards scattered on the sheet. The incandescent light touched every corner of the cobwebby room, and it caused his light blue eyes to shimmer. As he spun his black monolith in his hand, he answered, “It seems to change all the time! Sorry if that’s a boring answer. Now that I’ve got Typhoon Pala...
