Neural Noir

What it does

NN is a groundbreaking murder mystery game powered by Gemini, utilizing its 1-million-token context window for exceptional story coherence. Players start by writing a theme, and Gemini generates "core elements"—characters, props, and a rough murder outline. For each prop, Gemini creates two descriptions: one simple and one generic, with objects then randomly placed on the map.
Gemini crafts a detailed murder narrative, ensuring all characters receive unique, independent information. This prevents players from exploiting the main story generator, as each character has distinct knowledge, adding difficulty to the mystery. An extra feature includes custom character images generated via Google Imagen (demonstrated with Stable Diffusion).
Players interact with characters through open dialogue and physical actions, using ** to enclose phrases. When the player feels confident in their deductions, they can submit a final essay, evaluated on various criteria, adding depth to gameplay. Stats are displayed at the end, allowing comparison with friends.
The game also offers pre-load and load features, where pre-loading creates story phases before the chat phase, storing them in a database. Loading accesses this database, enabling quick game setup. Players can share games by adding the file to the correct folder, allowing easy sharing among friends.
NN showcases how Gemini’s advanced capabilities create an immersive and complex gaming experience with challenging and unique narratives.
