Maya had built it herself. A custom fork of Ren'Py, the beloved visual novel engine, stitched together with WebSockets and a custom Python state-manager. The idea was elegant: the "master" instance of the game on her server would render the deterministic logic—variables, flags, scene lists—and broadcast the essential state to "satellite" clients. Their local Ren'Py engines would handle graphics, sound, and input, then send choices back to the master.
