RECIPE BOOK: THROUGH TIMEPlay the beta

FANTASY BETA · 2 NOVEMBER 2026

Player privacy

You can explore the ordinary journey without creating a player profile. That journey and your settings are saved in your browser.

Player profiles

Registration stores your name, email, public nickname and a salted password hash in this game's separate Cloudflare-hosted player database. Passwords are not stored as readable text. Email ownership is not verified, no confirmation email is sent, and password recovery is not available in this beta.

Ranked play

The public leaderboard shows only nicknames, completed USA shift count and best ranked earnings. Ranked attempts record game actions, simulation ticks and server-issued session details so the server can validate the result. Submitted action recordings are processed for verification and are not retained as a separate replay archive. Best successful scores are retained with your profile.

Cookies and service protection

An essential, host-only session cookie keeps you signed in for up to seven days. It is not shared with the other Michael Cooks TV games. Temporary hashed rate-limit identifiers protect registration and result submission. Cloudflare also processes requests to deliver and protect the service. This game does not add advertising or analytics cookies.

Your choices

Sign out from the player menu to end the current session. Clear browser storage to remove the ordinary journey on that device. For a request about a player profile or feedback, use the Michael Cooks TV contact section. Do not send passwords or private account details in public bug reports.
