Traditional to-do apps are too nice. They forgive you when you skip a task. HOSTAGE does not. HOSTAGE is a high-stakes, Tamagotchi-style productivity PWA where your pet's life is directly tied to your task completion. The Pact: Add tasks with strict deadlines. The Penalty: If you miss a deadline, the "Executioner Protocol" deals massive damage to your pet. The Cost: Reviving a dead pet requires a "System Reboot"—but the guilt remains. Stop prioritizing comfort. Start prioritizing survival.
