Spreadsheet Audit: Night Shift

Your KPI: escape with the values before the workbook eats you.

Modes

  • Daily Audit uses today’s seed. Same layout for everyone that day.
  • Random Audit is fully procedural.
  • Runs are short and lethal; you will learn patterns.

Controls

  • Arrows / WASD move (each move advances the threats).
  • E interact / enter gate (if values complete).
  • 1 Freeze Pane (stun nearby threats).
  • 2 Drop Conditional Format trap.
  • R Set Absolute Reference. T teleport back (once per charge).
  • U Undo (rewind 1 turn, limited).
  • H help. M mute.

Help

Everything is turn-based. If you hesitate, nothing moves. If you move, the spreadsheet recalculates.

Tiles

  • # merged cell (wall)
  • . empty cell (floor)
  • V value (collect 3 to unlock the gate)
  • G recalculation gate (exit)
  • ✦ pickup
  • ⛶ your absolute reference anchor

Threats

  • ↻ Circular Reference: hunts by shortest path if it can “see” you.
  • ! Volatile Function: wanders, then bursts (two moves) on its cycle.
  • Line of sight is blocked by walls. Fog of war hides what you haven’t “recalculated” yet.
Scoring is local. Objective is not “fair”; it’s learnable.
