Developer Sunset Visitor just revealed its follow-up to the fantastic 1000xResist. It’s called Prove You’re Human and looks to wade in similar sci-fi waters as the team’s first title.
Just like 10000xResist, the new game is a narrative adventure set in the far future. Prove You’re Human tasks players with convincing an AI product that its not alive, but there’s a rub. The protagonist is a digital clone of a person, so they aren’t human either. This will no-doubt lead to all manner of ethical conundrums.
“An AI dares to dream she is human,” a tagline reads. “You’ve been hired to put her in her place.”
The gameplay looks to involve scanning the environment, talking to corporate employees and keeping up with the digital clone’s corporeal body. There’s also an emphasis on making and solving CAPTCHAs, which makes sense when trying to prove humanity or a lack thereof.
The graphics certainly look unique, as the dev team has weaved real-world footage of Vancouver and the surrounding areas into the virtual landscape. “Vancouver is a well-known film town,” Remy Siu, Founder of Sunset Visitor said in a press release. “We’re accessing that infrastructure, along with our long-time collaborators, to bring a sense of tactility to human forms in the game.”
We don’t know when this is coming out, as the above trailer is just an announcement for the game. However, it’s already available to wishlist on Steam.
This is actually a pretty big deal. 1000xResist was a bona-fide sensation and was nominated for a Hugo Award. It also managed to win a Peabody Award, which honors excellence in storytelling.
