Dark Forest

Overview
Dark Forest takes the classic minesweeper loop and adds a survival twist drawn from Liu Cixin's dark forest theory: every cell you uncover makes you louder. The board is a hexagonal grid, so each tile has six neighbours instead of eight, which changes how deduction chains propagate and makes the usual minesweeper patterns useless.
A detection counter climbs with every reveal. Play too greedily and you get found and wiped out, so the game becomes a tension between information and exposure rather than a pure logic puzzle.
