Structure
Evidence-gated progression
Players read, connect, and verify instead of clicking through inert scenes.
Project Echo
Project Echo treats the interface as part of the fiction. Evidence flow, messages, and pacing all belong to the same product layer instead of being bolted together.
Case Deck
Why the experience lands
Narrative
Interface-native storytelling
Files, chat, and clue states feel like product elements first and story devices second.
Atmosphere
Silence as a design tool
The UI leaves enough space for pacing and tension to register without clutter.
Why it works
Story and UI solve the same problem
The experience only lands if the interface is clear enough to carry the beats without over-explaining them.
