Please add a demo video/voice where you show someone asking questions and AI answering it. I wanted to see what it is like but dont want to signup.

Hi everyone!!! Thanks so much for the support.
I launched this at midnight prior to logging off and going to bed, funnily enough a massive storm hit us around 3am and I woke up and noticed my OpenAI account failed to fund lol. So we ran out of funds and it caused things to break for some of you.
Just waking up here on the East coast, once my daughter is occupied I will try to answer more of your comments!

Very neat idea, and overall it is more well-done than I assumed a vibe-coded game would be. Unfortunately I ran out of time and now the game locks me out of doing anything and I don't know who the murderer is :( I wish there was just a way to have it revealed.
I've always thought that a game like Civilization should allow the user to interact with different opposing world leaders, but in a non-deterministic way as opposed to a subset of fixed interactions. Given what you know about this leader's temperament, goals, and so on, you can conduct diplomacy in a way that can be way more immersive and crafty than what the game currently gives you, which hasn't seem to evolve much in decades.

I played various murder mystery games this summer and one of them had this feature: you could call a suspect and ask arbitrary questions for a limited amount of time (three minutes or something). The problem was of course that the model hallucinated an answer to one of the questions, suggesting that other suspects were related by blood even though they clearly weren't.

Congrats, I have not had the chance to try it yet, but what I saw looked awesome and I'll give it a go, for sure. I'll update this comment when I do.
I've been working on a similar concept for 6 months now (https://game.selna.ai, portuguese only for now, sorry!), and it's been a journey. I've been working with VR professionally for some 8 years now and creating what I call a "social virtual reality" seemed simple enough, but has turned out to be much more complex than I initially imagined.
In the same way that in normal VR a single badly scaled object can break immersion, in "social VR" a single contradiction kills the experience. But when stars align and eveything works, it's magical.
I started with whodunnits but have expanded it into linear and non-linear storytelling. At this point the generation pipeline has some 40+ separate steps, the output of ones feeding others, until it all comes down to single prompt the NPC uses to talk using the realtime API.
The platform can create a complete narrative (including cast personalities and images) in some 20 minutes, and in the process generates the equivalent to a big book of text.
I've been working on this just because I can and I am a bit obsessed with getting it working perfectly, and I don't really know what I'll do with it when it does.
