AI is everywhere in AI Confidential and it's your job to fix up all the robots - check out the demo

In a world where Artificial Intelligence is everywhere, you work for an AI megacorp and you're the one sent around to people's homes to fix up all their problems. A setting that is steadily becoming all that much closer to reality.

A first-person story-driven adventure game, one that may leave you thinking. A game I wrote about back in June 2024, as the premise of it and the way you interact certainly seemed interesting. Doing away with textual conversations, instead relying on emotions. The developer has put up a public demo now with Linux support that they said "represents ~7 months of active development time" from their small four person team.

What you get in the demo is only a small slice of what to expect of course, but this little introduction case is certainly a curious one. You're dealing with a dog caretaker assistant robot that's a bit broken, which seems to be a mixture of both broken hardware and an AI acting rather suspicious. There's some really good voice acting in this that really helps to sell the experience, complete with the ridiculously annoying client that sounds like an over-excited livestreamer.

You get the clear feeling pretty early on something isn't right here, as the little robot companion is acting really strangely and you quickly put the pieces together to figure out what happened. The conversation system is a fun unique point in it, giving you no right or wrong answers, just going based on your own feel for it.

A demo definitely worth jumping in. The developers do note it has "Adult language and some mature themes".
