Can I enter a game based on an IP which is now in the Public Domain? Like if I wanted to make The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the game?

– A setting, a location, a character or other small pieces of meta content: That’s just fine in the compo.
– Part of the plotline, but interweaving it into your own story and telling it in your own words: Well, I guess that’s still fair play in the compo?
– Retelling the whole plot or using actual lines of text, independently of how many: Not compo anymore, consider taking part in the jam instead.
