Echoes of Empathy

I don't like using the donate option on itch, but these API calls are costing me a fortune.  Consider it if you have some change

I had the idea to try and make a game 100% by AI tools. And for the most part I’d say I succeeded! It is quite rough, and has the usual AI quirks. But I’m happy with the final result.

The dumbest idea I had is that all the artwork is generated in real-time based on what’s happening in the game, the problem is, you never notice.

Well, keeping in the spirit, I’ll leave the rest of the summary to GPT:

Echoes of Empathy is an AI-based role-play game developed for the Ludum Dare competition, with the theme "Delivery." In this short, 5-6 minute experience, players assume the role of a doctor who must "deliver bad news" to patients and their loved ones, informing them about terminal illnesses and fatal surgeries.

The game's design, coding, art, and gameplay system were all generated by artificial intelligence as part of an experimental approach to game development. The audio is the only non-AI-generated component.

While imperfect, Echoes of Empathy aims to provide players with a thought-provoking experience that encourages reflection on the complexities of human emotions and the delicate nature of delivering life-altering news. Join us in this unique and introspective journey, exploring the theme of "Delivery" from a doctor's perspective, as you navigate the challenges of conveying difficult news.
