v0.2 POC

Little Fibbing

The Pothole Incident · a Truthnet game

A cosy English village where not everything you read is true. You're spending the weekend at Nan's — and her tortoise, Keith, has made a break for it. Ask around, follow the rumours, and decide what to believe.

How to play

Village: click anywhere to walk, or use W A S D / ← ↑ ↓ →. Walk up to a villager to talk.

The chase: headlines from the Gazette fly past. Judge each one — LIKELY, CAN'T TELL or UNLIKELY — by tapping the buttons or pressing ← SPACE →. Read carefully and you'll catch Keith.

What it teaches

It's a media-literacy game for children aged 8–16: questioning what you read, spotting manipulation, and being comfortable saying "I can't tell yet." Uncertainty-first — no false certainty.

This is an early proof-of-concept (v0.2). A single short slice built to test the world and the feel — not the finished game. Rough edges, placeholder bits and the occasional escaped tortoise are expected.
