"I learned about a short, text-based game from Woe Industries from a while back called You Have Billions Invested In Generative AI. Surprisingly enough, you take on the role of a venture capitalist who has plowed gobs of money into genAI technology and might be starting to have doubts about that investment. Other characters warn you about the dangers of the tech and real-life headlines showing the impact of genAI hallucinations pop up."
"Tackle for Loss had a very timely arrival this week, just ahead of a certain other big, real-life game. This is a football-themed take on action-heavy, top-down games like Hotline Miami. Developer Indifferent Penguin took some inspiration from the Taken film series as well - you take on the role of a CTE-afflicted former football player who sets out to rescue his kidnapped daughter."
"The combat sounds pretty interesting here. You need to clear out all of the bad guys on each floor of a multistory building before you can progress, but you only have four offensive actions at your disposal each time (this draws from the four-down format of football). You'll need to plan things out before you go on the attack, not least because your character and the enemies all die in a single hit."
You Have Billions Invested In Generative AI places the player in the role of a venture capitalist who poured large sums into generative AI and begins to doubt that choice. Characters warn about technological dangers and real-world headlines about generative AI hallucinations intermittently appear. The game blends satire and horror and is available for free on Itch.io. Tackle for Loss is a top-down, action-heavy, football-themed title inspired by Hotline Miami and the Taken films. The protagonist is a CTE-afflicted former football player rescuing a kidnapped daughter, with combat constrained to four offensive actions per floor and one-hit deaths. Tackle for Loss is available on Steam for around $11.
