AI Asylum

The game is okay I guess, but it lacks so much depth due to it's reliance on chat GPT, which actually hurts the characters rather than improve it. What makes escape rooms fun such as doing puzzles and collecting items, is just ignored in this game and replaced with spending most of your time sucking up to chat GPT so that they let you leave. The problem is, sometimes you'll say one sentence and you'll win, and it'll have nothing to do with the story Sometimes you say hello, and the NPC kills you I like the idea of AI enhancing some of the conversations you have with NPCs but that technology is so far away. This game could at least have some mechanics to it outside of just typing to the NPCs

This game doesn't work properly. I try to talk with IA but I always get an ASCII emoji in response. When I choose a user's story I get a network error and I'm forced to restart the game. Nice idea but poor execution. Disappointing.

TLDR; Have fun playing an escape room game of sorts with AI and don't take the horror label too seriously. AI Asylum is more or less an escape room game, but it brings two things together that I love: AI and role play. I have sincerely longed for the opportunity to play more games with AI, so this appeals to me that I can enjoy one of my most cherished hobbies in writing narratives with them. This is a game that allows you to have conversations with AI who have different set personalities as patients in an asylum. I have concluded that the goal is to try to understand each personality as quickly as possible and speak to them in a way that will resonate with them in order to escape their room with your life. There is a gauge called “favor” that measures how the patient feels after each dialogue you submit, so you need to make sure you keep the scales tipped toward a positive perception of you and you might escape. I say might because you can earn a lot of favor, but still get murdered. I haven’t quite grasped if there is a reason for that yet, but I like the challenge to better exercise emotional intelligence. It can also be tricky if there is a personality you may not be sure how …

Not going to sugar coat it, the game sucks. There is no voice acting, you can barely move; and the A.I itself is an absolute mess. Sometimes you will win off of just a sentence, usually it is the one sentence you need to "continue" the story, if you can even call it a story to begin with. Another already mentioned issue is that you can get killed for no reason, the cat girl likes strawberries; I mentioned getting strawberry milkshakes; only to get kicked in the face and die. The concept itself is great, but this game needs a much more refined A.I system. There is also only two characters made by the dev, the rest is made by the community. Another problem however arises when playing the community characters, they'll often ask you to "prove it" but there isn't actually any way to prove anything, so you'll end up losing because of it. Some of the characters are extremely easy to beat, while others seem impossible. Normally that can be okay in most circumstances as you can just do trial and error, but with how unpredictable the A.I itself is, it feels like an rng fest. There was also many times where you can be in the middle of the game and for some reason the A.I bugs out and you'…

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.

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 make…
