MOTE

hold the light

Close your eyes and you'll see it — a speck of light that drifts and floats and won't sit still. Catch it. Spin it. Hold on.

What it is

A drifting mote of light you can't quite grab — only influence, like a floater swimming across your vision. Coax it into an orbit around you and it spins up an electrical resonance shield that burns the infectors drifting in to land on you. Part reflex game, part meditation. Inspired by a real thing someone described seeing behind closed eyes.

How to play

1
Focus the mote. Move your mouse in circles. It drifts on its own — your control is a gentle pull, not a grip. Steady it.
2
Build the orbit. Circle it around your center, faster and steadier, until the charge climbs and the resonance shield ignites.
3
Burn the infectors. The spinning shield destroys the particles drifting in. Let one reach your center and it drains you. Hold on as long as you can.
4
Get better over time. The more you focus, the more control you keep — it's saved, so your grip firms up across every session until you can whip the light around at will.
Controls: Mouse steer (captured) · Esc/P pause · C calm mode · M mute
