What is Kairos: In Step with Time?
This single-player experimental puzzle compresses a lifetime into roughly eight minutes as the cosmos falls out of alignment. You calibrate a time ring to align the sun, Earth, solar terms, and I Ching hexagrams, then make six responses that determine two final hexagrams.
