In Acolyte, issues are getting unusual at an organization working in shopper AI. Possibly you will discover out why via conversations together with your AI assistant.
Nanomax is a startup that’s trying to do some ground-breaking work in shopper AI. They’ve developed the Acolyte utility to that finish, giving gamers an AI companion to speak and work with. You’re a QA tester with the corporate, so your job is to seek out any bugs or quirks in this system and let the bosses know. SURELY they’ll repair these issues, proper? Not bury them and by no means communicate of them? Or let anybody else discuss them? Or make workers mysteriously disappear?
One thing is clearly flawed at Nanomax, and also you and your AI appear to be on the coronary heart of the matter. You’ll want to talk together with your AI as a way to search out data and leads, conversing with it as a way to get the proof it’s good to determine what’s happening. This may require a little bit of fascinating puzzle-solving, as your solutions (and some different components) can bleed out into actuality with some fascinating ARG components. It’ll additionally ask you to do some compelling detective work as you pore over websites, logs, and the data your AI possess to piece collectively what’s really happening right here. Fortunately your Acolyte will assist with all of this. And certainly they are often trusted, proper? I imply, they appear so good if you discuss to them.
Acolyte is an fascinating thriller tied to the chatty, cheerful AIs many people use in our on a regular basis work. It simply occurs to make their fixed, ever-listening presence really feel a bit extra alarming at occasions (effectively, I assume moreso than they USUALLY are). Or at the least the sinister ends of among the individuals who program them.
Acolyte is out there now on itch.io and Steam.
