Tide pool

Leave something. See who comes.

Three angular mechanical creatures in dark water between sculptural stone outcrops.
Tap the water to drop brass. The collector will come for it.

Preparing the pool. A still view remains if 3D is unavailable.

Inside the pool

Three mechanical creatures on brass joints. The violet one collects shiny things. The ivory one builds a shelter. The dark one patiently loosens it again. Tap anywhere in the water: an offering appears immediately and a free creature turns toward it.

A purely synthetic, procedural artwork. No dialogue, score, or destination. Sound is optional and starts only when you turn it on. Nothing you do here is saved or sent.

Keyboard: focus the pool, move the marker with arrow keys, then press Enter or Space. The Drop button also works without pointing. Reduced-motion settings start the world paused; you can choose to play. Hidden or offscreen pools rest.
