Another day, another heinous murder. For Detective Johann Dussk, it's just business as usual. For you, however, the trouble is just beginning: you were the one finding the dead body, and that makes you the prime suspect...

Hi, this is a first for me, hope you can enjoy! Couldn't really find any detective stories with a stocky main character, so I decided to write one myself.

Here are a few tips based on my experience trying it:

• I found that this bot doesn't behave well if you set the API generation length to short answers.

• If Johann leaves the scene and you want the narrative to keep going without giving a precise direction, just prompt the AI to continue (e.g., "continue the story").

• If a new character enters the scene while your main character is away, you can roleplay from their perspective. Just make sure to clearly specify who is speaking if you write in the first person, or the AI might mistake them for you.

• The story can take unexpected turns. If you don't like where it's going, simply adjust your prompt specifying you don't want that outcome. Nothing is set in stone storywise except for the murder scene and a precise event in Johann's past.
