Frequently asked questions
- How long can a mystery roleplay run on Darkmes?
- Sessions of thirty to a hundred messages are typical for a single case; multi-case arcs can run several hundred. Darkmes' rolling-summary memory compresses earlier evidence and witness statements into the model's context, so contradictions you spot early stay actionable when the case unravels later.
- Which model is best for noir detective prose?
- Euryale 70B and Magnum 72B for literary noir voice and atmosphere. DeepSeek V3 (164K context) or Mistral Nemo (128K) when you need the model to track many witnesses, alibis, and red herrings across a long case. Lunaris 8B (free) handles single-day investigations cleanly.
- Can the AI play the murderer in a mystery roleplay?
- Yes. Darkmes uses uncensored models — there's no system-level filter preventing an AI character from playing a killer, lying to the protagonist, or refusing to confess. The character's author can design the persona around concealment and reveal whenever the arc demands.
- Can the character actually solve a mystery I write?
- Mystery characters are collaborators — you typically direct the plot beats. If you write a detective character and feed them clues over the session, they reason out theories from what's been shared. They won't invent canon you haven't given them; the puzzle is yours to design.
