Experimental AI & Tools

This game is our third experiment with AI storytelling and game development.

For this entry we pushed further into structure and theme. We have a new iteration process for creating stories with AI tools and went through over 10 iterations using Claude. We also experimented with a new art style to give the game a nostalgic vibe.

Is this the kind of tool you'd like to have access to? Let us know in the comments. We hope to make a version of this publicly available someday.
