Integrate stats, resources, and cosmetics into adventures via conditional branches gated by game state checks. Each of the 9 adventures now has a secret branch that rewards exploration and encourages replay with subtle hints on locked choices. The endgame box now triggers a Destiny adventure that acknowledges all completed adventures and secret branches, with four ending tiers culminating in an ultimate ending when all 9 secrets are found. Also adds the crafting engine, CLAUDE.md and specifications.md for faster onboarding.

The salty wind hits your face as you stand on the deck of The Corrugated Corsair. #intro-wind

|
captain: Arrr! Welcome aboard, ye scurvy landlubber! #captain-welcome
|
|
captain: I be Blackbeard the Unboxable! They call me that because no box can contain me! #captain-name
|
|
mate: They call him that because he can't figure out how to open boxes, Captain. #mate-truth

You turn toward the gangplank. It's gone. It was also made of cardboard. A seagull ate it. #leave-gangplank

captain: A box so valuable, it contains ALL other boxes! The mother of all boxes! #captain-mother
|
|
mate: Supposedly. The map was found inside a box, so its reliability is questionable. #mate-map
|
|
captain: Every map is found inside SOMETHING, Linu! That's how maps work! #captain-maps

You stomp your peg leg on the cardboard deck. It makes a deeply satisfying THUNK. #pegleg-stomp
|
|
The entire crew goes silent. Then Blackbeard's eyes widen. #pegleg-eyes
|
|
captain: That sound... that THUNK... ye have a PEG LEG! #captain-pegleg
|
|
captain: Linu! This one's got the leg! THE LEG! They're one of US! #captain-one
|
|
mate: The crew is going wild, Captain. They haven't been this excited since we found that box of rum. #linu-excited

captain: Forget the map! This changes everything! A peg-legged sailor on a cardboard ship -- that's DESTINY! #captain-destiny

captain: It was TACTICAL crayon, Linu! #captain-crayon

You rotate the map 180 degrees. It looks exactly the same because it's just a square. #upside-rotate

The Corrugated Corsair sets sail across the Cardboard Sea. #follow-sail
|
|
After two days of sailing, you spot something on the horizon. #follow-horizon
|
|
mate: Captain! Land ho! Or... box ho? It appears to be a floating box. #mate-landho
|
|
captain: A floating box in the ocean? That's either our treasure or our lunch. #captain-floating
|
|
captain: The crew has been eating boxes for days. We're running low on provisions. #captain-provisions

The cannon makes a "pffft" sound and launches a cardboard ball approximately twelve feet. #cannon-pffft

|
It lands in the water with a soft, disappointing splash. #cannon-splash
