      "q": "Do I need to install anything to play?",
      "a": "No. Paste the starter prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and it runs, with no signup, download, or account beyond the chat app you already use. A pre-rolled dice tape and save codes keep everything inside the conversation."

    {
      "q": "What kind of game is this?",
      "a": "A one-shot heist for Ironquill, our original tabletop role-playing system, run by an AI game master. You have one night inside a living clockwork vault to reach its heart and get out before it winds shut. Expect one 60 to 120 minute story with a clock working against you the whole way."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I play solo?",
      "a": "Yes. The Gilt Horologe is built for one or two players. Solo, the AI runs the vault, the warden, and every other character while you play your thief; the one deadly crossing always has a safe, clever route so a lone player is never forced into a coin-flip death. With two, you share the crew and split the decisions."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I stop and continue later?",
      "a": "Yes. At any point ask for a save code, a short block of text that captures the story state. Paste it into a fresh chat to resume where you left off, in the same app or a different one."
