A three-level AI interrogation game powered by TypeSafe Jev System One: you write a statement, the warden delivers a verdict, and you try to earn your release across three levels. The README is published in both English and Chinese.

How does Jev decide the warden's verdict?

The README describes live structured analysis for plea, logic and paradox: your statement is judged on those dimensions and the results feed the verdict, rather than a single free-form reply. The game frames these as the case you have to make.

How do I run it locally?

bun install followed by bun run dev, with a .env file containing TYPESAFE_API_KEY=your_typesafe_api_key and DATABASE_URL=file:./turing-jail.sqlite. The README also lists bun run check, bun run build and bun run test:answers as useful checks.

What does it require to run?

A TypeSafe API key for the System One calls and a database URL: SQLite for local development or Neon/Postgres in production, per the README's highlights. The Vercel homepage suggests the hosted instance runs against the production database.

How are runs saved and shared?

Progress is saved locally so an unfinished run can resume after a refresh, and completed runs are sealed in the database and can be shared by URL, per the README's feature list.

What is the prisoner ID format?

Six-digit hexadecimal values running from #000000 to #FFFFFF, as stated in both language versions of the README.

Who built it and what are the limits?

GitHub user bugkiwi; the metadata lists no license and the README publishes no evaluation of the warden's decision quality, so treat the verdicts as a game mechanic rather than a validated measure of anything.

Watch out

Grounded in the README and GitHub metadata reviewed on 2026-10-15; the README publishes no accuracy or evaluation of the warden's judgments, no license is listed in the metadata, and running it needs both TYPESAFE_API_KEY and DATABASE_URL configured in a .env file.
