Narrative documentation

The Bottschild Affair is an AI-driven narrative design excercise where we as a team of devs implemented real time contextualisation into NPCs. The game is set in a lordly manor, where a murder has just occurred during a gala. It is on the player to have real conversations with the various NPCs & undertake tasks and mini-quests to uncover the mystery behind the murder. No prototype is presented as were unable to host an LLM for an extended period of time due to monetary constraints.​
