Project: Aiga - Cold Case Interrogation Prototype Released
Step into the shadows of Seaview, 2025. In Cold Case Interrogation, you take on the role of a freelance investigator unraveling a dark mystery from 1995—a murder cover-up silenced by a retired police chief. Armed with new evidence and your wits in a tense video call interrogation, your words hold the power to expose the truth or let dangerous secrets slip away.
This noir-inspired visual novel prototype breaks traditional storytelling boundaries. With no preset dialogue options, you type your own questions, navigating a web of lies, deflections, and hidden guilt brought to life by the Gemini AI API. Every choice shapes the investigation in real time, creating an authentic dialogue experience driven by nuanced motives and emotional triggers.
Key Features:
- Free-text interrogation system with dynamic AI responses
- Stylized cel-shaded 2D noir visuals capturing the mystery atmosphere
- Emotional narrative stakes centered on justice and truth
- Replayable 10–15 minute prototype designed for in-depth feedback
This is an early-stage prototype focused on refining AI-driven narrative immersion. Players are encouraged to test the game, observe the AI’s responsiveness, and provide detailed feedback on dialogue realism, story engagement, and any bugs or issues encountered.
Content Warning: Themes include murder, corruption, and grief.
