PRESS KIT 2 OCTOBER 2026

A small story.
Ready to play.

PointCast Micro Club turns a few familiar controls into a good little detour.

Start with The Late Post: three authored delivery puzzles, a town waiting for its parcels, and a postcard at the end. The collection stays available to replay.

Keyboard or touch. No registration required.

An illustrated keycap becomes a miniature landscape with an orange looping track, a lavender spiral and green steps. — Small keys. Big detour. AI-assisted campaign artwork; a playful metaphor, not a hardware photograph.

01 / A QUICK INTRODUCTION

A place for curious hands.

The project: An independent PointCast project led by Michael Hoydich. Not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenAI or Work Louder.
What’s here: Six original short games, the Lantern Route adventure, and The Late Post edition of that adventure.
How to play: Keyboard and touch controls. A compatible controller can send mapped keyboard inputs. No registration is required.
Progress & privacy: Game progress stays in the browser. The separate optional play pilot is off by default and requires consent.
Business today: No paid plans or public competitive leaderboards. Audience size, retention and revenue have not been established.
The original six: Signal Run, Pocket Echo, Bloom Room, Dial In, Switchboard and Pulse Club. Browse the library.

02 / SHOW THE RESPONSE

Three useful demonstrations.

The Late Post

Collect parcels, open a crossing and find a hidden sorting room. Three chapters, local checkpoints and an ending postcard. No timer.

Take the delivery route

Dial In

Find five signals in a 60-second round. This fixed challenge lets everyone try the same starting conditions with keys or touch.

Signal Rooms

Show a small message arriving as a browser signal. Use a fresh room with fictional demo text; never publish a real invite or private conversation.

Explore Signal Rooms

A room invite grants access to read, send and delete messages. Computer sound is opt-in. No keyboard lighting is needed for these demonstrations.

03 / MATERIAL TO WORK WITH

The art. The context. The facts.

CAMPAIGN / POINTCAST

Small keys.
Big detour.

Three concepts and 15 existing layouts, with PNGs, HTML source and a complete campaign ZIP. Credit the artwork to PointCast.

The sculptural imagery is generated metaphor artwork. It does not depict an actual Micro device or its performance.

RESEARCH / DATED SNAPSHOT

The small
controller market.

A sourced field guide dated 29 September 2026. Hardware prices are observed snapshots; forecasts and conversion examples are hypotheses.

The report has not been refreshed to this kit’s date. Recheck time-sensitive prices and availability before quoting them as current.

04 / KEEP THE STORY ACCURATE

What’s verified. What’s open.

Browser play has been exercised.

Testing covers Chrome desktop and emulated touch at 390px and 320px widths. This does not establish physical phone or Micro gameplay, audible speaker output, or visible keyboard light output.

The optional macOS light bridge is experimental and is not needed for games. Keyboard events do not identify a device or verify ownership.

Read the owner’s guide

Let the experience speak for itself.

There are no established audience, retention or revenue results to quote. Local progress is not aggregate analytics. The Late Post’s theme is an editorial choice; player feedback is pending.

Future collaboration scope, compensation, rights and terms remain unagreed. This kit is material for consideration, not a commercial offer.

A WORKING LINK IS THE BEST INTRODUCTION.
