About
Finish the Story is my first personal website, built as a playable first-person experience inside Halo 3's Guardian - the map where my friends and I spent countless hours growing up. Explore it through quests, photos, and mini-games tied to different memories. I built the entire thing with Astra in one week. The most time-intensive part wasn’t coding - it was deciding which memories belonged where, and what gameplay could bring each one to life while still feeling natural to play.

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.
ThinLittle evidence and no strong angle. Nothing to build on yet.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
