Overview

Prepare for a groundbreaking detective experience with Detective Turtletop: Who Killed Harambe? This isn't just another mystery game; it's a bold step into the future of AI-driven interactive fiction. Developed by a former Meta AI Engineer, this title tackles the pervasive issue of AI hallucinations head-on. Unlike other games where AI can be manipulated into false confessions or fabricated evidence, Detective Turtletop promises an unyielding commitment to truth, powered by its proprietary "Truth Table" Architecture.

Hardcoded Truths: The murder mystery's core elements are mathematically determined, guaranteeing an unforgeable solution.
