AI-generated mysteries
Walk an isometric town built for one mystery. Step into its buildings, search the rooms, question the people who were there, and put the evidence together before the trail goes cold.
How it plays
Three loops you'll repeat until someone's story falls apart.
Start on an isometric map built for this one case — roads, squares, dozens of buildings, people and things to find on the street. Enter buildings, move room to room and learn who belongs where.
Pick up what looks out of place, combine items, use them where they matter. Your journal lists what you can do next; the detective board pins every clue with string.
Show people what you found, fill in the answer sheet — who, how, where — and close the file. Stuck? Hints cost a few points, never the fun.
Inside a case
On the eve of the Guild Fair the great clock of Wendelmere stopped at a quarter to six — and its brass escapement wheel is gone. Every guild blames another. Find the wheel and wind the town before dawn.
Under the hood
Every case starts as one prompt and ends as a playable town — and it only ships when the mystery is provably solvable.
A premise, a tone, a twist.
Places, people, facts, items and the puzzles that bind them.
Isometric buildings, rooms, suspects and evidence, drawn to match.
A coherence pass proves the case can be solved before it ships.
