Student's AI Game Puts Players in a Mother's Shoes Under Nazi Occupation

College student built An Unwritten Diary, an interactive survival narrative game for a Hacktoberfest open-source AI challenge. Players take on the role of a mother protecting her family in occupied Netherlands, making difficult choices that affect relationships, resources, and circumstances. The game was inspired by the Diary of Anne Frank and The Oregon Trail, and it uses text-based storytelling with pre-set options plus player-written input. The frontend uses TypeScript and Vite, the backend uses Express.js, and the story responses are generated through Google's Gemini and Gemma APIs. The developer, who was new to backends and APIs, deployed the project using Vercel and Render.
