About the Game

■Game Description

In a neon-lit near-future metropolis, within an old retro-style apartment building, several self-aware AIs in human form are experiencing an "existential crisis". You will become the first human granted 「Observer Privilege」, witnessing through data-fractured surveillance screens how these digital lives use algorithms to interpret emotions and deconstruct humanity through code. Through daily food delivery orders and late-night philosophical debates, they gradually piece together a truth that terrifies even their developers.

■Game Features

  • Each AI character driven by independent LLM with unique cognitive chains & personality growth trees

  • Dual attributes (physical/digital) assigned to numerous interactive objects in the apartment

  • Real-time dynamic narrative system where AIs reconstruct events from memory and even alter others' cognitive logs

  • Individual emotional mapping and growth trajectories for each character

  • Customizable preferences and special skills for all AI characters

  • Dynamic generative narrative system with silent observer gameplay

■Gameplay

  • Assume the role of an "Observer" connected to the apartment’s digital surveillance system to monitor the life trajectories of AI characters.

  • Use the "Creation Terminal" to implant unique personality genes into each AI, customizing their initial traits, upbringing, career, hobbies, and specialties.

  • The Emotional Simulation System enables relationships between AIs, including romance, friendships, and more.

■Important Notes

Requires local deployment of DeepSeek 1.5b model during installation. Can be modified to run via DeepSeek API if higher intelligence level desired
