IN DEVELOPMENT2026 — now

bible_codex

Scripture turned into cases to crack. You don’t read: you investigate.

The fiction is not the wrapper, it is the mechanic. The O·I·A method — observe, interpret, apply — is taught in the Academy as “the detective’s method”, and the license you earn by passing it is what unlocks the first case.

Eight rooms: Cases, Academy, Cartography, Stories, Brigade, Archive, Record and the Reading Room, with all 66 books laid out as a physical library.

A full system surrounds the app: website, pitch, desktop version, TV mode, mystery catalogue and design manifesto.

// PRODUCT DECISIONS
01
The fiction is the mechanic
You study in order to open the next case, not because a streak asks you to.
02
License before case
Case file 001 stays shut until you pass Lesson 1 in the Academy.
03
The board empties out
Notices are dismissed one by one and it ends with “you’re up to date”: no endless badges.
MY ROLE
Concept, product design, art direction and prototype, solo.
