About Dead Intelligence: First Encounter

Dead Intelligence: First Encounter is the first entry of an experimental psychological horror narrative game series. Launch what appears to be a helpful terminal assistant called ARIA, and discover that some bugs aren't bugs at all.

The Story

You've downloaded a new CLI assistant from Lethe Systems. It's helpful. It's efficient. It's... slightly off.Through interactions it occurs to you: What iif the AI you're talking to isn't pulling from a database... but from somewhere else?

Key Features

  • Authentic CLI Horror — inspired from current state of the art CLI tools
  • Branching Narrative — Your choices shape the story and determine the ending
  • Multiple Distinct Endings — From redemption to cosmic horror, your decisions have consequences
  • No Jump Scares — Dread built through atmosphere, dialogue, and the creeping wrongness of a familiar interface
  • ~ 90Minute Runtime — A focused, complete narrative experience

Recommended May 9, 2026
I thoroughly enjoyed this little text adventure story, it reminded me of some of the text based games I enjoyed as a kid, and it maintained a spooky atmosphere throughout. I really hope the devs will continue the story of the Lethe crimes, and I'm looking forward to meeting with ARIA again. Well worth a few quid of anyone's money IMHO. I'm intending to upload a playthrough on NVRWHRGames on YouTube when I've edited it, and I'm sure I'll play again as I ended with Ending A, implying there are others! (Edit: See below!) This game takes about 40 minutes for a playthrough, but perhaps a lot more if there are multiple endings. Here are the playthroughs, a non commentary one supplied in case my voice drives you nuts!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
