## 👨‍💻 Developer Notes

This started as an experiment in AI-driven horror. What if a job interview could be genuinely terrifying? Not through jumpscares or gore, but through the slow realization that you've walked into something you can't escape from.

The AI adapts to your answers, creating a unique horror story every time you play. Anderson's personality shifts based on your performance - from professional to passive-aggressive to genuinely threatening.

**There are secrets I haven't documented.** Good luck finding them all.
