One Way Mirror: AI

This game has fantastic potential, it is a great story generator creating a unique murder mystery case each time with unique witnesses and personalities each time. Art style works great and good infinite variety in suspects. Questioning the witnesses is interesting and you can also email departments to give you more info on the case and get unique answers each time Each case with its unique witnesses makes me feel kind of like I am transported into a new story each time, it is very cool I love the baseline here, it is my dream type of game and I appreciate this is early access - I will say the caveats below more out of love and to want to see the game get closer to its potential; My biggest caveat here is that if you are expecting a perfect puzzle game or for each case to be 100% solvable, this isn't really that type of game yet. To have the conversations and unique responses etc it runs off a language model AI for everything so all the interviews, the emails from departments and talks with other officers use it. This is brilliant for creating unique stories etc but there are 2 main drawbacks currently. 1 - the AI can hallucinate, I've had innocent people tell lies contradicting each other on what happened. Part of the game is about catching lies and contradictions, but when innocent people tell big lies, it feels not possible to tell if they are lying because they are guilty or if they are lying for no reason. One way I think to avoid this is to stick to just asking about the info on the case files and basics about location, relationships etc. If you go down a rabbit hole about something specific then the AI, which is open to suggestion, shall start answering with random stuff which shall then look like contradictions 2 - It can be very hard to actually wrangle critical info out of the AI - I've had cases for example where I used the Commissioner hints which eventually tell you the motive & killer after you've used 3 (wouldn't recommend using if you want to solve yourself but it is there). Even then, knowing that the motive was blackmail, I couldn't get any info out of anyone interviewing about blackmail despite asking and also when I emailed the departments to look into blackmail they came back with nothing. Had similar cases to this a few times where it just feels like there is no way to actually get the info you need. Similarly, I had a lot of cases where I just dead ended and had several people with no alibi and motives and I just couldn't get any more info back to narrow it down and solve There is a points system which can make people more responsive etc to questions which may help but it feels tough early on. There is a system also about certain types of phrasing questions can work on different personality types, I haven't really got the hang of it yet With the above, I could just be bad at the game and would be interested if anyone is able to get a high accurate solve % as I may be missing a good method to extract info from people. I say all this out of enjoyment of the game and the setup has huge potential, I also think a lot of this is just a reality of language models they will eventually hallucinate and it is partly just about educating people on what to do and not do when asking questions. But overall I really love this game honestly, I have put a lot of playtime and loved jumping into cases and talking to all the unique characters and pondering the case, I can't wait to see how it develops

Ho provato questo gioco con grande curiosità per la componente AI che ne gestisce e determina il gameplay. Con mia grande sorpresa, ho trovato un gioco valido e con un grosso potenziale alle spalle: la possibilità di generare casi unici e totalmente differenti tra di loro e l'interazione con i sospettati che cambia a seconda di domande e carattere dell'interlocutore, garantisce una molteplice varietà di scenari creati appositamente per il giocatore. piccolo suggerimento per i giocatori: cercate di allenare l'ia facendole più domande possibile in modo tale che l'interazione diventi sempre più rapida Bravi ragazzi 👍🏻

I have played a couple cases of this game. Whilst there is clearly a lot to be done, It is obviously a great concept and has potential to be an amazing game. Overall it feels like a mix of Shadows of Doubt and LA Noire. The biggest asset I think this game has is that you can choose exactly what to say to the AI, or what to ask the specialist departments to provide. This way almost all the leads are of your own intuition and some may be completely dead ended. This system is a lot of fun and one lead may be the difference between cracking a case or going back to square one. AI being AI it may forget things if you speak to suspects multiple times. Sometimes the individual suspect will for some reason have their backgrounds overlap with other suspects when they shouldn't really. Nonetheless this is an early access game and it relies on people playing it for development to prosper, so I definitely recommend!

Ho avuto l'onore e il privilegio di provare in anteprima il gioco, dando una mano ai ragazzi con lo sviluppo in fase beta. Sono davvero affascinato di come si possa utilizzare l'intelligenza artificiale computativa (quindi non generativa) per dare testi ai protagonisti di queste storie procedurali. Spero davvero che con il passare dei mesi si possa affinare ancora di più la formula, ricreando intere scene del crimine e rendendo più espressivo il tutto. Per il momento, One Way Mirror: AI resta una bellissima idea nel pieno della sua fase sperimentale, in continuo sviluppo ed evoluzione.

Não tou conseguindo jogar o jogo os NPC não respondem nada o que ta acontecendo?

After installing the game then installed the AI separately which took a significantly long time despite having decent internet speed. Once I tried to play, it took an unreasonably long time to set up the case and then once in game, all I said to one of this characters was "Hi" and it was stuck on "thinking" as a response for so long I just turned it off at that point. Spent over an hour from point of game being downloaded to the point I turned it off. Whereas I didn't expect it to be super speedy with it being early access etc. I would expect that it would take beyond an hour to from point of confirmed initial installation and such long response times from characters. It's a shame as the concept sounded really good, and I might come back once it's been developed further but at this point I wasn't willing to give my money to something so unplayable and hope it's going to be improved. Therefore, asked for a refund. For the record I played on steam deck, so specs should have been enough from what I'm aware.
