Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

In a world where every greeting carries a peculiar power, you step into the shoes of a down-on-their-luck detective in a quirky metropolis. You're assigned to investigate a series of baffling incidents occurring every time someone says 'hello'. As you meet a cast of eccentric characters—including a talking cat who gives unsolicited relationship advice and a stand-up comedian with a penchant for bad puns—you must piece together clues hidden in their greetings. Each choice you make in dialogue not only shapes the story but also alters the dynamics between characters. Will you unravel the mystery of the strange 'hellos' threatening the urban fabric, or will you find yourself caught in an endless loop of awkward encounters?
