Open-feeling conversation, closed narrative architecture.
The layer between the model and the messaging app — built to keep AI inside an authored story.
Every input arrived at once. The layer is the missing piece.
Loops, never ends.
Rigid, app-bound.
Conversational and structured. The ending holds.
Signed in, orchestrated, authored out.
Nine coordinated systems sit between the model and the message. Four of them:
What the player knows, missed, unlocked.
What each character can say, must hide, will refuse.
Gates reveals; returns players from dead ends.
Times tension; protects the authored ending.
From one case to a category — the narrative control layer beneath conversational entertainment.
Reference implementation: an interactive mystery. The engine itself is genre-agnostic.
