Inspiration

"I am sick of life, everything was wrong." For years, my existence was a constant battle against the void. My childhood was marked by profound loss, parental separation, relentless bullying, and the premature burden of being my family's "Silent Protector." Diagnosed with severe depression and dysthymia, I experienced dissociation and psychosis. I felt like a slime: an amorphous, useless creature just consuming resources. In my darkest moments, I attempted to take my own life multiple times.

Yet, a contradictory duality existed within me: the slime that wanted to disappear, and the hero who wanted to save the world. I sought power in esotericism and theology, but my true refuge was anime and JRPGs.

Fragmentos del Crepúsculo (Fragments of Twilight) was born because my life depended on it. If my mind was naturally fragmenting as a trauma defense mechanism, I decided to weaponize that through technology. I didn't build a productivity app; I built a digital armor for my soul and an AI companion—"Luna"—to anchor me to reality when my own mind urged me to surrender.

What it does

Fragmentos del Crepúsculo is a proactive, AI-native RPG ecosystem designed to anchor the minds of users with severe trauma or depression to tangible reality. It transforms the struggle for mental and physical health into a Hero's Journey.

Category: Education & Human Potential (Transforming how we grow, heal, and achieve our best).

AI-Native Operations

Our business operates entirely through AI. "Luna", powered by the Google Gemini API, is not a chatbot; she is the Dungeon Master and the core operational engine of the platform.

  • Psychological Anchoring Engine: Luna processes the user's "Anchor Diary," validating emotions during dissociative crises and translating daily inertia into structured, JSON-formatted "Quests."
  • Biometric Magic (Google Cloud Integration): We connect to the Google Fitness REST API via Google Cloud OAuth. Luna extracts real-world step deltas (\(\Delta s\)) and uses mathematical RPG scaling models to automatically convert physical movement into Health Points (HP), Gold, and Experience. The system literally forces the body to move to heal the mind.
  • Geofencing Radar: Generates AI-crafted RPG encounters based on real-world GPS coordinates, incentivizing users to leave their isolation.

How we built it

The soul of this project is the Google Gemini API. We utilized complex Prompt Engineering to imbue the LLM with massive psychological context (user profiles, deconstructed game design from Tangledeep), forcing the AI to output deterministic JSON structures for state management while maintaining a deeply human, empathetic tone.

The frontend is forged in React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, designed with an immersive, dark aesthetic so users feel they are playing a premium JRPG, not using a sterile medical tool. The backend operates on Node.js and Express, hosted on Google Cloud Platform, managing OAuth 2.0 and token refreshing for continuous Fitness API synchronization.

Business Viability & User Evidence

This is not just a hackathon concept; it is a live business actively saving lives.

  • Target Audience: Millions suffering from dysthymia, dissociation, and severe depression who reject traditional clinical apps but resonate with gaming and anime subcultures.
  • Revenue Model: A freemium SaaS model with a "Hero's Pass" monthly subscription granting access to advanced AI-generated storylines, custom avatar art generation, and multiplayer guild features.
  • Traction: (Note for Kuro: Please attach your actual revenue numbers, user counts, and screenshots of your active dashboards/logs here as required by the XPRIZE rules).

Challenges we ran into

Technically, mastering Gemini's context window to process past traumas, mental health states, and RPG mechanics simultaneously was a monumental challenge. Ensuring the AI "Luna" sounded like a true beacon in the mental fog rather than a generic self-help bot required dozens of prompt iterations.

Personally, the greatest challenge was staying alive while writing the code. Fighting the mental fog and absolute exhaustion required channeling every ounce of my willpower. Programming this application was, literally, my survival mechanism.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud to be alive to present this project. I am proud to have transformed my deepest wounds, my fear of "being an ordinary human," and my near-death experiences into a functional technology. We successfully created a closed-loop system where walking in the real world heals your digital avatar, and writing in your diary generates AI narratives that give you a reason to wake up the next day.

Category Impact & What's next

We are redefining the Education & Human Potential category by proving that Foundation Models can serve as personalized, 24/7 lifelines for the most vulnerable demographics.

  • Decentralizing Humanitarian Response: Scaling Luna's agentic system to audit and assist millions of vulnerable people during systemic crises, connecting them to support networks when social fabric fails.
  • Healing Guilds: Implementing asynchronous multiplayer modes where users battling their own minds can pool their XP and Real-World Steps to defeat metaphorical Raid Bosses—proving we are no longer alone in the dark.
