Prometheus stays in the middle of a black-figure amphora while you turn the vase around him, carrying an ember that cools unless you fan it, and gods who see light catch you if you glow in their gaze. Each of the eleven vases has its own guardian, and a finished vase is fired from black to terracotta. The creator says it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to play.
How the creator made it
The creator chose the turning-vase stealth idea from a list Claude Opus helped brainstorm, then playtested and redirected Claude’s browser prototype. They had Claude write all the game code and draw layout guides, then used those guides to generate and select artwork in ChatGPT. They had Claude measure the sprite sheets and write scripts to cut, resize and recolor them when the generated layouts were off. The creator made the music in Gemini and the effects with Firefly and ElevenLabs, and mixed the potter’s wheel by hand. They used a bot written by Claude to check that each vase still worked after changes.
