Project Plateau · Proof Before Dark

Project Plateau is a playable adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel The Lost World, built as a first-person exploration game. Players navigate a valley as part of the Challenger expedition, examining field evidence and managing inventory across four photographic plates. The game was created using NovelToGame, an open-source workflow that pairs AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, or Kimi Code) with novels to produce playable builds. The system reads source material, designs game direction and world layout, builds for target runtimes, and validates functionality through recorded playthroughs.
