What makes your game a Mystery Game?
The Archivist is all about finding hidden stuff by exploring and paying attention to little details. You look through documents, rooms, and random clues to figure out what’s really going on,

How does your game integrate the jam's theme "Last Message"?
The theme plays a central role in the story. Throughout the game, players come across pieces of a final message left behind under strange and unclear circumstances. It’s more than just a clue — it holds the key to everything. Figuring out what it means, and why it was hidden, is what drives the mystery forward.

Does your game use generative AI? And if so, in what way?
No, everything in this game is fully designed, recorded, directed, and written by humans at the WYStudios and Lyko Interactive Entertainment magic factory :3

I played for less than a minute when the game started to... lag? Or is it a point that the game can't be closed?
