The sentence you type
"Make a detective mystery. Start with one scene, three clues and one question to answer."
The brief the AI writes back
First playable: one scene, three clues and one question to answer. The loop to get right: find a clue, connect it, test a theory.
Build, play, adjust
Compare with the games that define the genre: Return of the Obra Dinn (Lucas Pope, 2018), The Case of the Golden Idol (Color Gray Games, 2022) and Her Story (Sam Barlow, 2015).
What makes it finished
You can be wrong, you can be right, and the clues are still in the scene either way.
