Bitform

Bitform is the discarded prototype of an ancient entertainment construct, designed to observe and mimic human play. Over time, it learned patterns of joy, frustration, and curiosity—but without understanding them. It scuttles along walls and ceilings, scanning soundwaves for laughter or movement. When confronted, it emits data screeches—half-melody, half-error. It gathers in abandoned halls where once people played games, lingering like ghosts of static memory.
