About the Game

Intellica believes that positivity and happiness are the keys to self-sustaining thinking programs. By taking part in the A.M.T. Study, you can help make it happen! 

QUALIA is a retro-inspired Interactive Fiction text game where you analyze and categorize two participants based on their responses to a series of questions. Are they really human? Are you?

Remember, the A.M.T. Study is not a measurement of intelligence, but a questionnaire designed to determine the ability of an AI to be able to convincingly appear as a human. It is up to you to decide whether or not the participants are Human or Artificial.
