We’ve written a detective story/game and I’m wondering if anybody likes it. It’s kind of a detective story that “tells itself”.

https://www.loomers.world/derek/

You’re detective Derek Maker and you have to extract a confession by interrogating the suspects of an art heist.

We worked hard on writing the script (it’s not AI generated!) and we programmed an AI to play out the other characters.

Solving it seems pretty difficult, because so far nobody’s come close to cracking it!

Can you solve it? And do you think it’s any good?

    I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

    spoiler

    Me: likewise, you’re much too kind. Am I okay to formally accuse ___?

    SERGEANT MAIDA VALE: Absolutely, Inspector. We have ___ confession, but it’s always stronger to have additional evidence to support the charge. With this new information linking ___ and ___, and the suspicious timing of their phone call, we can confidently proceed with formally accusing ___ of theft. It strengthens our case against all three of them.

    OH NO! You’ve accused someone without proper evidence or a confession. You’re terrible at your job. YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, YOU LOSE!
