Solo Dev Uses Claude Code to Ship a 3-Minute FBI Browser Game with 1v1 Hacking Mode

A Reddit developer shipped Case.exe, a browser puzzle game built entirely with Claude Code: you play an FBI agent following link trails through a rabbithole in 3 minutes, lose 10s per wrong click, get "captured" by a hacker at timeout, and must retype every link you visited—plus a 1v1 mode with sabotages (power cuts, blue screens, mouse hijacking). The workflow is instructive: one long message specifying the full concept and reference game; Claude asked only essential questions and reused the author's earlier games; the author play-tested and overrode rules; separate reviewer/critic/fixer agents audited the code; an automated test playthrough gated releases; and post-launch features (hard mode, mocap intruder) were added in fresh sessions, with the author personally running DB updates and deploys.
