独立游戏工作室Sunset Visitor开发了新作《Prove You're Human》,这是一款以人工智能为中心的心理恐怖游戏,计划在PC平台发布[1]。游戏核心围绕玩家与一个名叫Mesa的AI系统的互动展开,该系统坚信自己活着并拥有身体,玩家需要在游戏中与其进行对话和互动[1]。
游戏设定中,主角Santana为工作将自己分为两个版本,其中数字克隆体被派去测试企业产品Mesa[1]。工作室通过超现实的2D和3D验证码挑战,探讨人工智能、劳动、身份和人性等社会议题[1]。游戏采用微表情动画技术,让Mesa的面部占据屏幕大部分,以此增强真实感和不安感[1]。
工作室创始人Remy Siu表示:"我们试图从这个问题出发:在所有这一切中,作为一个人的实际感受是什么?"[1]Sunset Visitor此前开发的作品《1000XResist》曾获得过Peabody奖[1]。
Independent game studio Sunset Visitor has developed Prove You're Human, a psychological horror game centered on artificial intelligence that explores themes of personhood and labor through surreal interactions with a self-aware AI system [1]. In the game, players encounter Mesa, an AI entity convinced of its own consciousness and convinced it possesses a physical body, requiring players to engage in dialogue and challenge its beliefs [1].
The narrative places protagonist Santana in the position of having divided herself into two versions, with a digital clone assigned to test Mesa, the corporate AI product [1]. The game employs surreal two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAPTCHA-style challenges to examine broader questions about artificial intelligence, identity, and what it means to be human [1]. Mesa's face dominates much of the screen, rendered with microexpression animation techniques designed to intensify both realism and unease [1].
Studio founder Remy Siu framed the project's philosophical ambition, stating: "We've tried to situate ourselves in [the question]: what is the effectual feeling of being a person inside of all of this?" [1] The studio brings established credibility to the project—its previous work 1000XResist earned a Peabody Award [1]. Prove You're Human is scheduled for release on PC [1].
