PREMISE

You are a newspaper reporter turned private investigator. Each run is one case, told in interviews, stakeouts, and paper clippings. Procedural cities, permanent obituaries.

MECHANICS

ASCII art with hand-drawn paper textures
Dialogue-first — every NPC remembers what you asked and didn't
Procedurally generated case files and motives
Short runs — 30–45 minutes per case
