PAPER MOON

A roll, by moonlight.

One late night, a roll of toilet paper heads out to clear its mind and see the sea.

From a candlelit marble bathroom, through a pool terrace, and down to a moonlit beach—follow a small roll on a quiet midnight adventure. No face, no words. Just a little courage, a loose paper tail, and the sea ahead.

Tech

Made with Claude Opus 5.5 and Three.js r170 — one self-contained HTML file (~630 KB). No image, audio or font files.

• Rendering — physically based materials, ACES filmic tone mapping, soft shadows, HDR post-processing (bloom, colour grading, vignette, film grain).
• Water — real-time refraction with live cube-map reflections on the drips and tap stream; a Gerstner-wave ocean with a moonlight glitter path; waves that run up the sand and leave it wet.
• Procedural assets — marble, wood, sand, quilted paper, the spiral roll end and the moon are generated in code at load time; ambience and sound effects are synthesised live with the Web Audio API.
• Motion — custom 2D physics; the loose paper tail is a verlet simulation with air drag and sea breeze; the roll's sense of life (squash and stretch, breathing, looking around, flinching) is procedural animation.
• Tested with automated playthrough bots in headless Chromium.

月下，一卷遠行。

某個深夜，一卷打算散散心的衛生紙出發去看海。從燭光與黑金大理石的浴室，經過露台泳池，滾向月夜海灘。沒有五官，也沒有台詞，生命感藏在每個小動作裡。

操作 — ← → 或 A／D 滾動；R 從檢查點重來，P／Esc 暫停。觸控時按住畫面左半或右半。手機橫放遊玩；若卡頓，可把畫質切到「中」。

隱私 — 設定與最佳時間只儲存在你的瀏覽器裡。遊戲本身不收集、也不傳送任何資料。

月夜のコロコロ。

ある深夜、気晴らしをしたい一巻きのトイレットペーパーが、海を見に出かけます。キャンドルの灯る大理石の浴室から、プールのあるテラスを通って、月夜の浜辺へ。顔も、言葉もない。小さなしぐさが、命を感じさせます。

操作 — ← → または A／D で転がす。R でチェックポイントからやり直し、P／Esc で一時停止。タッチ操作は画面の左半分か右半分を押し続けます。スマートフォンは横向きで。動作が重い場合は画質を「中」にしてください。

技術メモ — Claude Opus 5.5 × Three.js r170。HTMLファイル1つ（約630KB）、画像・音声・フォントファイルは使っていません。物理ベースのマテリアルとHDRポストプロセス、リアルタイム屈折の水滴、ゲルストナー波の海、コードで生成したテクスチャ、Web Audio で合成した効果音、ベルレ法でシミュレーションした紙の尻尾。

プライバシー — 設定とベストタイムはこのブラウザ内にのみ保存されます。ゲーム自体はデータを収集・送信しません。
