How many games can you play at once?
1, if you’re a normal person.
604, if you’re a chess grandmaster.
2, if you’re playing Playerless.
So we were making this game about ghost-hunting, but the AI kinda got out of control - now two plots intertwine to form the big picture. On a scale of not broken to broken, the game is ridiculously broken. Could you please help us clean up the mess?
How many buttons do you have?
104, if you’re using a keyboard.
120, if your keyboard is an accordion. One-tap control
Game
1, if you’re playing Playerless.
All you need to do is press buttons on a keyboard! Oh, actually, press one button. The others are sort of... temporarily out of order. So that the puzzles are more challenging.
Can self-awareness appear all by itself?
No, say the religious.
Probably, say the scientists.
Hi, say the Playerless.
Join the debug unit on a unique puzzle adventure where you get to shape the characters - and the characters get to shape you. Satisfaction (and abstract philosophical thoughts on the nature of existence) guaranteed. Bringing up AI was never this fun before!
