Review
Person in despair meets non-person AI; consequences ensue, December 1, 2025This game’s text would have fit well in Season 5 of the Magnus Archives, probably with the Stranger or the Spiral.
Someone is contacting an Ai support system, but they are in turmoil. The game repeatedly mentions a desire to hollow onself out, or the state of already being hollow. I mentioned social alienation in another game; this feels like self-alienation, like depression and other neurodivergence, where you feel barely attached to the flesh and to your own identity.
The game contrasts this with the multitudinous non-sentient existence of AI. The two are able to connect with each other and try to help each other.
The text is written in a intense way, and the physical display uses a variety of effects to augment that effect, including mimicking online help systems, using color, overlapping text, etc.
Overall this one was one of the strongest entrants in the comp, for my tastes.
