We are developing a framework for scripting multiplayer interactive fiction inspired by Renpy. This framework and its accompanying scripting language can be used to easily develop interactive fiction games for mobile and other platforms.

Boss "Mess up, and you'll be on the K9-unit clean-up detail."
@AP "<i>Uh oh.{a} They won't even let the robots do that kind of work. If it came to it, I would rather be fired.</i>"
@AP "<i>I think my Boss is watching out for me, but it's hard to tell sometimes.</i>"

We are completing pre-production for an upcoming game using our scripting framework.
The City of Cohoba is a narrative-driven mystery adventure game set in a vibrant Caribbean metropolis, where players step into the role of a junior investigator unraveling a web of conspiracy within a corrupt police force. With a focus on non-linear storytelling and consequence-driven gameplay, players solve crimes using a unique keyword-based dialogue system and can shape the outcome of a multi-act plot across three possible endings. Features include full character customization, optional co-op multiplayer, interactive side mysteries, and tense sniper missions tied directly to the story. Inspired by classics like Snatcher and Ace Attorney, we are looking to blend investigative gameplay with meaningful player choice, dynamic relationships, and a novel multiplayer approach to the visual novel genre.
