When you eventually launch The Hollow Circuit Book One on Steam, the experience will not end when you minimise the window.

To navigate the investigation, players must look beyond the screen and utilise the network's dedicated out-of-game interface:allwedois.ai.

What is the CODEX?

allwedois.ai acts as the connective tissue for the entire Art of FACELESS ecosystem. Powered by Traveller 1.111 — an interactive RBRN compiler-entity — it is a live, queryable companion tool designed to bridge the gap between the visual novel's narrative and our live web presences.

Instead of serving as a traditional wiki or a fictional prop, the CODEX operates as an active archival system across 11 distributed network nodes. When queried about entities, events, or terms encountered in-game, it retrieves real, verifiable excerpts, citations, and live links pulled directly from published records across the ecosystem.

Beyond its search functions, the interface provides:

  • Distributed Lore Gates: A real-time visual map indicating which network nodes are open for active exploration and which are currently gated.
  • Intercept Panels: Active transmission streams—including the PDK Transmission Monitor, Athenian AI feed, and Traveller [Rogue] 1.112—that surface ambient data streams for cross-referencing.

A Word to Investigating Players: Follow Your Own Path

As you use allwedois.ai alongside your Steam playthrough, keep the following principles in mind:

  • Assume and Presume Nothing: Do not treat any single readout, domain name, or system response as definitive or derivative.
  • Trust the Mechanics, Interpret the Signals: Use the provided breadcrumbs, node statuses, and CODEX feedback as raw operational data. How those pieces fit together is entirely up to your own analysis.
  • No Hand-Holding: We will not guide you through the puzzles, validate your theories, or point out every connection. The system provides no step-by-step walkthroughs. Any attempt to create a walkthrough will render it immediately useless.

The tools are powered on before the game on Steam is live. You are already inside The Hollow Circuit®.

You always have been.

The nodes are active. It is up to you to chart your own path and define your own journey.
