Patented Tactile Interface Object. Est. 2026. Not affiliated with any delicatessen, ergonomics lab, or dog.
The Sausage is a single-purpose tactile interface object, anchored to the bottom edge of your screen and engineered to be grabbed, pulled, and let go of. It has no menu, no settings, and no exit. It simply protrudes, patiently, waiting for input.
Every motion you see is calculated in real time by our proprietary Verlet Elasticity Engine, a soft-body simulation originally developed for purposes we are not at liberty to disclose. It bends, wobbles, and returns to its resting posture using damping and spring constants tuned, over several long afternoons, to feel appropriately meaty.
We do not call this a physics engine. We call it emotional support tubing.
Pull hard enough and the tip may briefly clear the top of your screen. Should this occur, the Sausage will apologize on your behalf, retract instantly, and pretend nothing happened. This is by design. Some things are better left unflung.
It doesn't, not really. But you found a strange shape at the bottom of your screen and pulled on it anyway, and it came back for more, and so did you. We think that says more about you than it does about the Sausage.
