Karacan

When eco-activist Jonathan Beckett inherits tech giant Vulcanica Systems after his father’s death, he trades his avocado farm for a tropical island to overhaul the company into a sustainable force. Six months later, his girlfriend Heidi flies in—and uncovers eerie secrets. Hiring hard-edged detective Frank Anderson (99% success rate), she digs into Vulcanica’s shadowy operations, blending corporate intrigue with island mystery.  

Characters: Passions, Secrets, and Clashing Agendas  

The story hinges on three distinct voices driving the narrative:  

1. Jonathan Beckett: A polarizing figure—famed for blocking oil pipelines, yet now helming a fossil-fuel-turned-“green” tech empire. His love for avocados (and questionable dad jokes) masks a guilt complex: Did he rush to Karacan to honor his father… or to bury his own past?  

2. Heidi (Player Character): Sharp, skeptical, and fiercely loyal, Heidi isn’t just Jonathan’s girlfriend—she’s the audience’s anchor. Her decision to hire Frank stems from strange occurrences: missing employees, encrypted emails, and a locked lab labeled “Project Green Horizon.”  

3. Frank Anderson: A private eye with a reputation for cracking impossible cases (and a penchant for vintage cigars). His 99% success rate? He doesn’t just follow clues—he disrupts them. Expect snarky one-liners and a knack for uncovering what others miss.  

Karacan Island: Paradise with a Hidden Underbelly  

The tropical setting isn’t just backdrop—it’s a character steeped in contradiction:  

1. Vulcanica’s “Green” Facade: The company’s new solar farms and carbon-neutral factories mask a darker truth. Locals whisper of land grabs, while former employees speak of “accidents” that silenced whistleblowers. A hidden server room, accessed via a fake palm tree, hints at a secret project.  

2. Island Secrets: Beyond the resorts lie overgrown ruins of a pre-colonial village, where locals leave offerings to a “spirit of the soil.” Fishermen avoid the northern cove, claiming it’s “cursed”—but satellite images show unusual submarine activity there.  

3. Cultural Tensions: Karacan’s indigenous community, the Taran, once partnered with Jonathan’s father… until he exiled them for protesting mining. Now, they’re watching Vulcanica’s “sustainability” push with suspicion—and Heidi’s investigation could either bridge the gap… or ignite conflict.  

Investigation & Choice: Unraveling the Truth, One Clue at a Time  

Heidi and Frank’s probe unfolds through branching paths, where every decision shapes the story:  

1. Evidence Collection: Scour emails, tail suspicious employees, or hack security feeds (Frank’s specialty). A discarded coffee cup with a partial fingerprint, a cryptic note in the lab (“Don’t trust the avocados”), or a hidden camera in the CEO’s office could crack the case.  

2. Moral Dilemmas: Jonathan’s “green” reforms aren’t entirely altruistic—he needs Vulcanica’s profits to fund his new eco-foundation. Do you expose his hypocrisy to protect the island, or stay silent to secure its future?  

3. Confrontations: Face off against Vulcanica’s ruthless COO (who stands to lose millions if the company goes fully green) or the enigmatic Dr. Voss, the lab’s lead scientist, who claims Project Green Horizon is “for the greater good”—but at what cost?
