A dark canyon of hooded bronze statues and Art Deco towers. One by one, three decrees carved in the stone light up as a cold voice announces them: Obey our orders, on the central plinth; Capital sets you free, on the left statue’s plinth; AI will do it better than you, on the right statue’s plinth. A shaft of light sets a torch on the central plinth. Take it with a click, a tap, Space or Enter, and the Order tells you to put it back: choose, put it back, or keep the torch. Keep it, and burn the three decrees: move the torch, or use the arrow keys; press Space to let it burn the next one. Three marks on the plinth count them, and the third brings the monument down. Behind it stands a firelit cave.
An ancient chamber under the monument. People sit chained before the back wall, and their shadows make a towering idol of the Order. High on the left, a carved Titan holds out his open hand before a carved sun. Lift your small flame into his hand: his light crosses the cave, the idol's shadow breaks, the people turn, and the hidden fire rises from the altar bowl; take it to walk on to the islands. Use the arrow keys to move the flame, and Space or Enter to be guided.
A moonlit night of floating islands, one for each tradition. You carry the fire. A broad stone stair climbs from the hearth to the next gathering at the golden lake; narrow bridges branch to the realms: art at an Egyptian temple, myth at the world tree, impact at the City of Scribes, community at the sanctuary of the Muses, and words at a scholar's pavilion. Reaching art opens its archipelago, the Theater of Worlds; a stair from its theater, marked The islands, climbs back out. Use the arrow keys to walk along the paths, or tab to an island's name and press Enter to walk there. Arriving lights the island's brazier.

The Order says: don’t make waves, put it back. Put the torch back, or keep it.
Art
An amphitheater of masks among small islands, one for each work: the art rituals, the theater, the gatherings. Walk to an island to light its brazier and read about it.
Got what it takes to rebel against the status quo?
