This is a submission for the June Solstice Game Jam
TL;DR
Save the Sun is a kids' deduction game set on the eve of the June solstice: you race Sköll—the wolf who wants to eat the sun—to Sól's one true rune before he catches her and the longest day never dawns.
Gemini does two jobs and the engine referees both: it reads the player's questions—typed, or spoken aloud and transcribed—as the Oracle, and it plays the wolf as Sköll. The engine owns the secret and never hands it to Gemini.

What I Built
Blame a board game 📞
The idea started with Dream Phone, a 90s deduction game I played as a kid—you dial pretend phone numbers and narrow down which boy has a secret crush on you. The catch: it needed 2-4 players and fell flat with two. So I rebuilt it as a two-player game à la Guess Who and gave the second seat to Sköll, an AI opponent to race.
