[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: Undeclared AI Slop[/b][/url] This product is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content. The author deliberately breached Valve requirements that gamers must be warned when AI slop is use, in a direct attempt to mislead gamers.[/quote] 201 - The Bad Number is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This Russian literary train wreck is a high school sci-fi club dropout fan-fiction about Mars, but at least it's not as much about the authors imaginary girlfriend, as far as I can tell from the garbage writing. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhiker…7 found this helpful
