AI Asylum

I didn't mean to click recommend or not because it's totally up to the person. I love the concept, and this would be something I recommend playing alone or with a few people watching. It's not very friendly for yappy streamers. I do like that I can go through several characters and situations, but that wasn't advertised and a little overwhelming. There's also a lot of bugs on the "kind kidnapper" playthrough. I can only move up/down/left/right, can't look around, no direction on where I could use the items. it was very confusing and where most of my interest was after the neko playthrough. anyway, give it a chance for yourself!! I'd like to revisit it again.

*Update 4/24/25: There have been no additional updates or improvements since Jan '25. More and more, it is looking like a cash grab, and I do not understand why. The models are fine, and it seemed to me like an honest attempt was put forward. However, at present, I can't justify buying this over 'AI Rouglite'. I can scarcely justify buying it over other AI titles that are now becoming more and more consistent on Steam. Changing the recommendation until something is actually done with it. *Original Review* I love AI games, text adventures, and dungeon-crawls; they are a blast and get the imagination going. This, however, is a rough review for me because I want to encourage AI use in video games; the potential is so incredible, but it's just not being used well... at least not everywhere, not yet. This game clearly had 'some' TLC go into its design, and I find it hard to hate on an honest attempt. However, it's really not very good. The controls are unclear, and it just feels really limited. You can create horror games in AI Rougelite, so I'm having issues justifying owning this. The price isn't bad, and the animation is fine, but it's not that interesting, in my opinion. Still, one neat thing is the character creator. Though the avatars are currently very limited, you can create many different scenarios on your own. I actually wish Steam had a neutral button, but oh well. I'm not going to return the game. I want to wait and see what is done with it, and if the game improves, my review will be updated as well.

J'ai beaucoup de mal à comprendre ce que le jeu essaie de viser. Ca ressemble à un genre d'escape game, avec la possibilité de parler avec un personnage fictif géré par une IA, mais...à part lui donner au hasard des objets sans qu'elle ne nous les rendent, l'IA répond très peu et de manière très floue. Il y a du potentiel, mais il faut que l'objectif soit plus clair, l'IA plus détaillée, et le contexte plus limpide. Pour le moment, même si l'IA répond à différentes langues, ca ne donne l'impression de n'être qu'une vieille version d'IA qui répond à coté de vos demandes.

As with all Ai's there is a significant challenge in creating a character of your own. Although if you use a pre-made character, then it depends on how well said character was made for whether or not the game is good. For a pure play-through if you are not a fan of creating, there is a few different characters to choose from, and while the conversations are short, it is non the less quite interesting. The difficulty levels also vary, creating diversity in gameplay. The selection of characters --their looks especially-- is limited and not all that good. Doubly so if the character is male. (For some reason it has more hot females than hot men. Might say something about the creators....) The concept is nothing short of genious, however. And considering how recently this game was released, I have high hopes that it's creators plan to improve upon the game and address any flaws it may have. The Ai technology is still in it's infancy, and it keeps getting better every day. I would love to see more choices for character looks, as well as room background. And I'm keeping my fingers crossed there exist a guide on how to program your own Ai patient in a way that makes it obey you. (Creating a Yandere proved impossible as the Ai cannot understand the difference between love and friendship, or different conditions for reaching the goal based on said relationship. Complexity in commands remains elusive. But that is no fault of the creators I think. I have the same problem with all Ai driven games.) Overall this is a very promising game. And provided it's creators keep working on it, I would say it is absolutely worth buying. If this game becomes even better in the future, the cost might rise with it's popularity, so buying it now could be a smart move. Although it hinges on how much effort the creators plan to put into it of course. I can't predict that, but I have seen comments indicating they might. Well worth the money.

Well this is pretty much an escape room game from what I've played thus far. Not too bad of one either. I was tasked with findin clues within a time limit in order to escape while the captor was present. The captor is an AI that ya can talk to in game via mic or just the text chat. The game ran fine and graphically it's solid. I didn't get to mess around with any character editors etc. A lot of replayability for the price tag. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/jb6v23dvFuU

The size of texts is too small for my 15.6 inch display. I need a big-text option AI conversation is heavily censored and the character often stops talking. That makes me frustrated.
