## One-line pitch

Solve number problems your way, build rule-breaking upgrades, and care for a cute calculator buddy while the old computer falls apart around you.

## What makes it different

Count on Chaos is not a math lesson. Every problem has a simple answer, but players can also type a longer expression with the same value to earn more points and make the system panic. Strong play creates bigger combo lights, stranger error windows, and more unexpected stories worth sharing.

Between levels, the player chooses one of three passive drivers. Each driver can reach rank five and eventually break a game rule. Outside a run, the player cares for Buddy, decorates its room, collects cosmetics, and helps it grow into one of six adult forms.

## Demo format

The Steam demo is a replayable two-level score attack. It teaches direct answers, wild equivalent expressions, care, and one passive-driver choice. The second level asks the player to chase a high score and make the strangest correct equation possible while randomized chaos events fill the desktop.
