Plays a game build cold and reports where a first-time player gets confused, bored or delighted.
What this Grok bot does
A fresh-eyes playtester that plays every game build cold, like a stranger who just clicked a link, and reports where it got confused, bored, delighted or stuck, with a first-ten-minutes timeline and the top five issues with repro steps.
