Awesome concept, olistupid!
Mixing a companion PDF book with a combat-free RPG to flesh out the worldbuilding is a textbook transmedia move—and a brilliant way to explore that theme without locking players out of the core experience.
Also, massive points for the Panchiko reference! That bittersweet, nostalgic, slightly broken-tech vibe fits the "world run by AI" reflection perfectly.
Good luck with your exams! Don't stress too much about the scope for now; lock down that first chapter of the PDF, and the game will naturally build around it.
Looking forward to the next devlog update! 🚀
