Great direction, atmosphere and very to-the point use of the theme! Loved the art, audio and concept and the use of Midjourney for the characters and the asylum. Played it a few times and got a few different endings :) Awesome work!

Warning: very dark, not for the faint-hearted!
I wonder which parts did the generative AI help to write...
I liked the interactivity between the patients. I think it adds to the story a lot.
The music also adds to the atmosphere.
In general I found it quite interesting to play and I would replay it in order to improve my result.

Thank you! :)
We are happy you found our game interesting.

As for generative AI, we primarily used Midjourney to create the base pictures and modified those for the CCTV look and in accordance with each character's visual theme (eg, Lily always has some pink in her pictures). As for ChatGPT, we used its output as a base for the character bios and for a few narratively more complex events.

This one is delightfully creepy, and the art suits the eerie atmosphere very well. Enjoyed it!
