Today, during the Triple-i showcase, sunset visitor 斜陽過客 and Black Tabby Publishing announced their next game: Prove You're Human. This is a first-person narrative adventure about convincing an AI it's not human.
An AI dares to dream she is human. And you? You've been hired to put her in her place. Prove You're Human splits the main character in two: you're the digital copy of a person who was paid to test a corporate product…but the product, Mesa, is convinced it's as human as you are. Maybe even more.
Take breaks from work to roam an idyllic landscape and CAPTCHA surrounding environments. Spend your days in a comfortable virtual world, learn how to break down Mesa’s defenses, and eliminate her delusions. Maintain your own humanity as you eventually decide if you’d like to re-merge your two selves or discard your work self.
- Spend your days in a comfortable virtual world. Learn more about Mesa, break her defenses, and eliminate her delusions.
- When you’re not working, roam the land and CAPTCHA your environment.
- Get to know the various employees working hard to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
- Keep up to date on your corporeal body, who will spend her days living the life you’ve always dreamed of in the outside world.
- At the end of the program, decide if you’d like to re-merge your two selves or discard your work self.
“We’re always trying to lean into our strengths and locality,” says Remy Siu, Founder of sunset visitor 斜陽過客. “In Prove You’re Human, we’re very intentionally weaving real-world footage into our virtual landscape. Vancouver is a well-known film town. We’re accessing that infrastructure, along with our long-time collaborators, to bring a sense of tactility to human forms in the game.”
Reign in hallucinations of humanity when Prove You’re Human launches on PC via Steam. For more information on Prove You’re Human, visit the official website, follow developer sunset visitor 斜陽過客 on Bluesky and X/Twitter, and join the official Discord and Reddit communities.
In an age of AI trying to take over everything, this sounds incredibly interesting and I'm sure it will have some very prescient social commentary just like 1000xRESIST. I can't wait to see what Prove You're Human has in store, so for more on it and games like it, stay tuned to GamingTrend.
