Watch an island of Zen Men slowly evolve.
Their society shifts over time as they search for something deeper—the one true creation myth.
They meditate. They argue. They try to understand.
But they also get distracted… jealous… and sometimes just grow into bitter old men clutching a few shiny medallions.
Watch them question their existence in this strange, living simulation.

We need a way to adjust the window size.
Tried using ESC to exit a menu (as is convention), but this seems to have reset the sim?
