拓本 — a rubbing.

For a thousand years, the way to carry an inscription home was not to copy it, but to take an impression: dampen paper against the stone, tap ink across it, and lift away a record the stone made itself. Nothing is described. Everything is there.

Taben Studio makes games in that spirit. Our first game is set somewhere the internet has spent years naming, mapping and cataloguing. We are more interested in what it was like before anyone named it.
