✨ This is a game playing with AI in a creative manner, not a game made by AI ✨
This game was developed as an academic/art project in 2020 (way before the release of ChatGPT). Welcome to check our papers.
Please note: these two papers are over one and two years old, respectively. Therefore, there is definitely some discussion, especially regarding the ethical use of AI, that needs to be updated and improved.

Is this still active? Couldn't get the demo to work, some JSON parse error. Also, doesn't work with the current OpenAI version anymore, since Project API keys have replaced user API keys.
Hello! Yes this game is still active and we are preparing for Steam demo version --- it should still working now. Have you tried restart? I will also DM you the latest Steam version key --- we will try to fix the OpenAI problem soon ^ ^ Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Doesn't seem to work, but a steam key would be nice!
I sent to the email I found on your website, not sure if you've seen it --- or could you please leave your discord or email handle? Or please drop an email to adaeden1001[at]gmail[dot]com ^ ^ Thanks!
That would be office@causacreations.net!
Ah! Now, I saw it, already got it!
Very cool use of AI. It seemed to struggle a bit with the nonsensical nature of my story, but I adapted and ultimately created a fun narrative that I'm very happy with.
Thank you so much for playing out game!!❤️
