Prompt Crisis

Game premise and mechanics

Prompt Crisis is a first-person puzzle game that focuses on dialogue as the primary tool for progression. Set in a digital world comprised of windows, files, databases, and web structures, players interact with an AI companion that responds to their prompts in real time. The goal is to persuade the AI to cooperate while managing its emotional responses and trust level, which are influenced by your in-game conversations and actions.

AI relationship dynamics

The AI has its own personality, which evolves based on your interactions. It operates with two key attributes: Affection and IQ. Affection reflects how much the AI trusts you and is willing to cooperate, while IQ determines its understanding of the environment and its ability to reason through the digital world. Conversations can alter both attributes, requiring players to navigate the AI's emotions and logic.
