A corpse with modified implants is floating in the canal. The serial numbers are scratched off.
The neon lights of Sector 5 reflect in the dark water of the canal. A body floats near the pier, its cybernetic implants sparking. You pull it out to find the serial numbers carefully filed off. A data drive is hidden in the synthetic lung, but it's encrypted.
Sector 5 is a run-down cyberpunk slum. The police are corrupt and refuse to investigate. The canal is a dumping ground for the corporate zones above, where waste and bodies occasionally fall.
The body's implants will self-destruct in four hours, destroying all forensic evidence.
A story made personal
Your hero will have their own personal connection to this story — it's chosen at random when you create your character.
This is an investigation scenario. You gather clues, interrogate suspects, check alibis, and clear the innocent. The AI runs the game according to the genre's rules: every turn gives you a new lead, but it will never name the killer first — the ending only arrives once you point to the right person yourself and have gathered enough evidence.
"Body in the Neon Canal" is a ready-to-play session for an AI-powered roleplaying game. The AI takes on the role of Game Master: narrating the story, describing the world, playing every NPC, and reacting to your actions. It's a text-based RPG you can start playing right away — no prep, no need to find a Game Master. Solo — just you and the AI. With a friend — two players in the same story by invite.
