What inspired us:

Given that the theme this year was a heist, we were heavily inspired by the "Unsolved Case Files" murder mystery games. Essentially, we wanted to make a digital version of these with a twist: you interact through the documents/case materials through a computer running a retro style operating system like Windows Vista

How we built our project:

Initially, we began by constructing the entire storyline of the case: beginning with the setting, time period, characters, and choosing the culprit & their motives and working backwards to create how the diamond was stolen from the bank. After doing this, two of us worked on designing the documents (case profiles, reports, emails, etc) the player would use throughout the game to solve the mystery. We researched what tech stack we would use & implemented it utilizing Claude Code.

Challenges we faced:

We faced a couple issues: getting the custom made Python API to work, polishing the storyline & coming up with the characters and events, and setting up Eleven Labs to work since we had never used it before.
