Runs on a real clock — Tom keeps living while the tab is closed. Your Tom is saved in this browser only.

What he needs
🍞 Feed — 12-hour French toast, a Blue Iguana breakfast burrito, a DELUXE lemonade, or ice cream (the correct answer is always the ice cream).
💬 Reassure — tell him a hot dog is a sandwich. Tell him he matters. Works every time.
🎰 Slot pull — the point of gambling is to pay to be entertained. If you win anything, it's a perk.
😴 Nap — a man his size needs rest.
🤖 Roomba — deploy Franken-Roomba #6 on his messes before they get to him.
🩹 Tend — when he's seasick, sunburned or hangry, fix it.
📸 Photobomb — #WheresThomas. It's good for him.
📊 Status — meters, day, loyalty tier, and everything he's eaten.
The rules
Real time. One sea day = one real hour. Close the tab, come back later — he'll have kept going without you (and he will mention it).
He grows. Egg → Baby Buddha → TK → an adult form decided by how you raised him. There are six adults. Some are better than others. One of them is Killer.
Nobody dies here. Neglect him badly enough and he simply wanders off and misses the ship. He's fine. He's in Cozumel. He won't talk about it.
Day 7, the ship sails. Get him aboard and you get a card to share.
An affectionate parody. No actual Toms were neglected in the making of this game.
