Vaudeville

This game is unplayable and not because of any issues with the Al. I can't even get that far. The games resolution just does not work. You enter the police station and then leave and every button is off screen. Even playing in windowed mode. Unfortunately, I am past the refund period and didn't discover this game is unplayable until now. Shame.

Fun little detective game It certainly has a few flaws — mainly that the AI you’re supposed to talk to sometimes completely breaks and repeats the same things from time to time — but it never bothered me much. I managed to solve the case in under four hours. This game is actually very interesting and fun to explore, or rather, fun to talk to the AI in the game. Sometimes the AI was completely misleading, although I’m not sure if that was intended or just a bug. In any case, I really had fun with it, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new.

THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK. I have a brand new, high performance laptop and using my microphone to talk to characters, it just says "you," no matter what I say. If I try to type what I'm saying to them, I get no response. So I get to stare at characters. Also, WORTH NOTING - I started a new save file, and instantly quit... and that file was at 8% completion. I didn't do ANYTHING. I played two hours and am at 48%! And it can't LOAD A THING. THIS GAME IS THE EPITOME OF WHAT'S BECOME OF GAMING. Selling broken products, on "SALE" or not, that DOES NOT WORK is theft. Thanks for nothing.

The only saving grace on this game is that I can call the characters slurs and interrupt them

I reinstalled the game yesterday. When it first came out, I didn’t get very far because suddenly nothing worked anymore and no NPCs would talk to me. This time, though, I dug through the game files and found out that the context had simply become too large for the language model being used. No wonder—the game saves every line of dialogue verbatim. And I had been 66% through the game! So I started trimming the JSON files for the individual characters, since they contain a lot of repetition. That got the game running again, and I found new suspects… and then my context overflowed once more. So I started another game and began asking questions left and right, using what I had learned from the previous playthrough. “What do you know about XY?” The funny thing was that this turned up a surprising amount of interesting material. I was having so much fun that I went a bit overboard and started attributing things to the characters, which sometimes led to some absolutely ridiculous dialogues. For example, one character told me her memory was fuzzy, so I asked if that was because she’d been drunk. She blamed it on the trees, and I told her that even I know you’re not supposed to lick frogs. Every now and then, a character points out that I’m merely speculating, and I have to remind them that I’M the one doing the investigating here. At this point, I’ve played through 66% of the game again, and I have no idea what’s actually true anymore—or whether the model has started hallucinating based on whatever I’ve been feeding the characters. Which is entirely possible. If I accuse a guy of being part of a swingers’ club, the model will naturally try to build a theory around it. If the context doesn’t overflow again before I’m done, the only question left is which of my theories were actually true and how the case really unfolded. But as I like to say: Details. Would gaslight everybody again.

This game is super frustrating

fun to mess around with ai chatbots in this game
