# UI Microcopy — The Settled Reach v0.1
|
|
#
|
|
# Ticket: #409 | Sprint: 5
|

# Author: Mellanie (Copywriter)

# Date: 2026-02-13

#
|
|
# All player-facing UI text. Organized by category.
|
|
# Voice: Sova Transit District (D-036) — working-class pragmatic, quotidian-with-undertow.
|
|
# Diegetic frame: most UI elements are neural insert overlays, not game chrome.
|
|
#
|
|
# Integration: Stig imports these into client/scripts/constants/ or reads at runtime.
|
|
# Keys are stable identifiers. Values are display strings.

# Keep short: max 12 characters. Must read instantly during gameplay.
