Basement Starcraft begins as a quiet set of instructions for coaxing a star into existence using breath, dust, and patience. Low drones and fragile textures circle a hidden furnace, something small but steadily growing. But, the process slips out of control.

By the end, the experiment has failed—but something has taken hold, still burning behind the water heater.
