SUMMARY
-------
V67 preserves the five-mode V66 flagship game and gives it the stronger name it earned:

THE SHOEHORN OF JUSTICE
Beat the Oligarchy at its own stubborn game of haughtiness.

The final boss has been rebuilt as a five-phase battle against the fictional Oligarchy of Haughtiness. The public version remains deliberately generic and satirical: a faceless robed council, a carnival jackass costume, and a rear record made from inaccuracies, rejected filings, no-response notices, continuances, delay tokens, and procedural clutter. It does not depict or make a finding about any specific person.

MAJOR GAMEPLAY CHANGES
----------------------
- New V67 branding across the direct game, arcade, result cards, search, release center, and social metadata.
- Five boss phases:
  1. The Bench of Presumption
  2. The Wall of Haughtiness
  3. The Chorus of Inaccuracies
  4. The Continuance Engine
  5. The Stubborn Rearguard
- Separate Haughtiness Shield layered over structural resistance.
- Alternating leverage damages the shield; ceremony alone does not.
- Five telegraphed special attacks:
  - Presumption Pulse
  - Continuance Storm
  - Record Fog
  - Haughty Reset
  - Chorus of Inaccuracies
- Counter / parry input through keyboard E, touch STAMP, stage tap, or gamepad B.
- Phase-specific boss labels, colors, resistance, attack timing, and shield strength.
- New boss HUD, attack telegraphs, shield meter, scanline treatment, council silhouettes, and phase presentation.
- New finale line: HAUGHTINESS DEFEATED AT ITS OWN GAME.
- Deterministic boss speech rotation to avoid visual flicker.

MODES PRESERVED AND UPGRADED
----------------------------
- Story Campaign: five apparatus stages followed by the complete five-phase boss.
- Quick Extraction: lighter portrait-first mobile edition with a three-phase pocket boss.
- Daily Docket: deterministic daily challenge.
- Beat the Oligarchy: five-phase Boss Rush with no warm-up.
- Endless Extraction: escalating waves and local records.

PUBLICATION BOUNDARY
--------------------
The game is editorial satire. The Oligarchy of Haughtiness is fictional and generic. The boss uses stylized carnival figures, robes, clocks, paper, stamps, red tape, and document labels. It is not a diagnosis, adjudication, reenactment, or realistic depiction of any identified person.
