DECHOMENON

Dechomenon

An experimental game about generosity, mutability & shared control.

Dechomenon invites you and other players to co-create a single, ever-shifting body. Drag modular organ cards, each secretly classified as Cellular (space), Genetic (time), or Organic (agency), into three chassis slots.  After every input, old parts are randomly ejected. The generosity of relinquishing control and the unpredictability of the crowd. Over time, the community’s most-repeated assembly patterns overwrite the designer’s original grammar, letting rules evolve through cooperation and rebellion.

How to Play

Browse your hand of random organs.

Assign each card a hidden role.

Drag your chosen cards into the collective body’s slots.

Submit & watch your parts merge, and break the body’s existing parts.

Repeat. Observe how the body’s form and its grammar shift under the weight of collective generosity.
