Title: The Detective | Ironbay City

CASE FILE: OPEN

Welcome to the 12th Precinct. This is a hardcore detective simulation set in the modern, gritty metropolis of Ironbay City. You are not a superhero; you are a detective with a badge, a gun, and a mountain of paperwork.

CORE MECHANICS:

Anti-Omniscience:

The Narrator is neutral. Clues are not given freely. You must actively search scenes, question witnesses, and cross-reference evidence to find the truth. If you do not ask the right questions, you will not get the answers.

The Consequence Engine:

Every choice carries weight. Time moves realistically. If you delay investigating a scene, evidence may wash away in the rain. If you arrest the wrong suspect, the real killer will strike again. The world does not wait for you.

Physiological Simulation:

Your physical condition dictates your perception.

Healthy: You are observant and can sense danger before it happens.

Intoxicated/Exhausted: Your narration becomes unreliable. Clues will be missed, and threats may strike you without a narrative warning.

Digital Forensics:

Utilize your smartphone or precinct computer to run background checks.

Realism Applied: High-profile targets (CEOs, Politicians) return detailed dossiers. Average citizens return limited surface-level data. Signal strength affects search speed.

YOUR ROLE:

Review the case files on your desk. Pick a folder. Begin the hunt.
