an endless chain of chambers, hallucinated from one seed.
each level is a run of rooms. somewhere in it, one crystal is not like the others:
it pulses gold. touch it, and the red seal on the far gate dissolves.
pass the gate: next level. rooms grow heavier, more twisted, stranger in shape.

the resonance meter runs hot as you near the key. no enemies, no clocks —
only geometry, depth, and the hash. nothing is stored; walk back and every
room is re-dreamed identically. click / drag to enter · mouse look is inverted.

first launch: the GPU driver compiles the shader once, then caches it.
the world is now ONE branchless shape kernel — this should take seconds, not
minutes. the counter below is honest elapsed time either way.
