🔍 About the Project: Alnigma — The Mysterious Manor

Alnigma is an AI-powered, voice-driven mystery game where players explore a haunted digital manor filled with secrets, riddles, and narrative twists. Inspired by classic escape rooms and interactive fiction, Alnigma combines real-time decision-making with immersive voice experiences to create a playable mystery unlike any other.

💡 Inspiration

The idea began with a simple question:
"What if your voice was the key to escaping a haunted AI mansion?"

We wanted to create a game that merges storytelling, interactivity, and real-time voice AI — something mysterious, engaging, and emotionally resonant.

🛠️ How We Built It

• Frontend: Built on Bolt.new, the main UI includes a dynamic scene engine that pulls data from Supabase and allows users to make story-based choices in real time.
• Database: All stories, scenes, and branching logic are stored and queried from Supabase using structured tables and jsonb fields for flexibility.
• Voice AI: We integrated ElevenLabs to narrate each scene, adding emotional voice output to immerse the player fully in the story.
• Custom Domain: The app is deployed at alnigma.netlify.app using a custom domain for a polished experience.

🧠 What We Learned

• How to create a scalable storytelling engine using relational databases and JSON structures
• The importance of managing state and scene flow in interactive games
• Voice UX design — how narration, pacing, and tone affect immersion
• Real-world implementation of tools like Supabase, Netlify, Bolt, and ElevenLabs

🚧 Challenges We Faced

• Real-time voice generation latency: Ensuring voice audio played without disrupting pacing was tricky.
• Scene mapping & story design: Creating compelling, logical branching paths required a lot of planning and iteration.
• Supabase permissions: Getting RLS policies and access controls right took time during early development.
• Tool integration: Stitching together Bolt, Supabase, and ElevenLabs into one seamless UX was the biggest technical challenge — and the most rewarding one!

🎯 Final Thoughts

Alnigma is more than just a game — it's a glimpse at the future of interactive storytelling, where players shape the narrative using nothing but their voice. We're excited to keep expanding the story engine, add user-generated content, and even launch new genres under the same platform.
