The 3 AM Feed
Survival mode decisions
It's 3am. The baby is screaming. The instructions they gave you at the hospital are useless. You're holding a tiny human who depends on you for everything — and you have no idea what you're doing.

Part of this story
The First Night
→No manual. No training. Just you, a baby, and the terrifying realization that this tiny person depends on you completely.
Part of the quest
Just Became a Parent
→Nobody tells you that becoming a parent also means becoming a stranger to your own life. Your identity shifts overnight. Your relationship changes in ways you didn't expect. And everyone has advice except the one person who could actually help: someone who admits they don't know what they're doing either. This quest puts you in the raw early days — the sleep deprivation, the identity crisis, the relationship strain — and teaches you to navigate them without losing yourself or each other.
