The Premise

A detective focused Noir Narrative Novel Mystery

This project focuses on the player acting as a detective in a dark Noir based world. The attributes (Hunger, Thirst, Stamina, and Addiction) are designed to remind the player to introduce elements in their story that allow the GM to expose them to various NPCs and possibly unexpected events; they are not designed to be oppressive. In this world nobody is omnipotent, and every NPC has their own real world and agenda. The world reacts to the player as they make relationships with it. Everything is designed to be a low-cost run, and it is suggested to use DeepSeek V4 Flash and Sana as the primary AI models, just flipping to a higher cost one if the player needs to move the story in a complicated fashion.

Author's note

This world relies heavily on what you make your character backstory to be to drive the narrative. Please take some time to read some of the Lore, look at various locations, and then try to decide what you really want to be in the world. I recommend using DeepSeek V4 Flash for the game, and Sana or Z-image Turbo for the images. Z-image will be more realistic, Sana will just fill in gaps for things you don't need to look at again later. The GM Instructions are optimized for DS V4 Flash.
