Let’s get started!
1. Cygnus Enterprises (Sci-Fi Action RPG)
First up, we're blasting off to a far-future frontier with Cygnus Enterprises. This action RPG blends shooting mechanics with base management, but the real star of the show is your AI companion, PEA.
PEA is more than a generic sidekick; she's your Personal Electronic Assistant, and she's powered by the revolutionary inworld AI technology. Inworld AI gives PEA a distinct personality (think sassy and strategic!), a unique memory, and a knowledge base of the game's lore.
But the real mind-blower is that you can actually talk to PEA using voice commands, and she'll respond in real-time! Need her to prioritize shielding you during a firefight? Want her to focus on gathering resources while you build your base? Just say the word.
Even more impressive, PEA remembers your interactions and learns your playstyle. This makes each playthrough unique and creates a dynamic storytelling experience rarely found in other games. If you're looking for a game with a truly unique AI companion, Cygnus Enterprises is a must-play!
2. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord (Medieval Strategy RPG)
Next, we're time-traveling back to the medieval world of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. This expansive sandbox RPG is renowned for its epic battles and strategic depth.
While the base game itself is impressive, one talented modder, Bloc, has taken Bannerlord's AI to another dimension with his mod "Inworld AI - Calradia". This mod fundamentally changes how you interact with NPCs.
Imagine having in-depth conversations with any character in the game - from a humble villager to a powerful lord. This mod makes it possible! Thanks to generative AI, you can type or even speak to these characters, and they'll respond with realistic and contextually relevant dialogue, complete with unique voices generated through ElevenLabs speech synthesis technology. This mod enhances the role-playing aspect of Bannerlord exponentially, making the world feel vibrant and responsive to your choices. Huge shout-out to Bloc for this innovative contribution to AI modding!
3. Verbal Verdict (1950s Detective Noir)
Get ready to channel your inner Sherlock Holmes! We're stepping into the shadowy world of 1950s Brooklyn with Verbal Verdict. This detective game brings a unique twist to AI by incorporating a local large language model (LLM) directly into its gameplay.
As a rookie investigator, you'll rely on your interrogation skills to crack cases. However, in Verbal Verdict, the suspects you grill are powered by the AI, and they're ready to keep you on your toes.
Imagine a witness giving you different answers based on your tone of voice or the evidence you present!
That's the power of Verbal Verdict's AI. It allows the characters to react dynamically to your every word and action, creating an immersive and unpredictable experience. And since the LLM runs locally on your machine, you can enjoy this AI-powered detective thriller offline.
4. Vaudeville (Experimental Whodunit)
Buckle up for a captivating mystery with Vaudeville, an experimental "whodunit" that throws you into a cryptic case driven by cutting-edge AI. This game features the same revolutionary tech behind Verbal Verdict.
The real magic of Vaudeville lies in its ability to craft unique dialogues in real-time. Using advanced AI, the characters you encounter respond to your questions instantly, creating a new story with every playthrough. No two games will ever be the same! But it's not just about talking. Vaudeville challenges you to think like a detective, piecing together clues, interrogating suspects, and navigating a complex web of intrigue. With its dynamic storytelling and AI-powered dialogue, Vaudeville offers a refreshingly unpredictable detective experience.
5. Inworld Origins (Neo-Noir Detective Thriller)
Finally, prepare to be transported into a neon-drenched world of cyberpunk intrigue in Inworld Origins, a free-to-play technical demo that showcases the potential of AI in storytelling.
Set in a neo-noir world inspired by anime like Metropolis, Inworld Origins casts you as a detective unraveling a intricate mystery. The game uses Inworld's AI character engine, one of the most powerful AI tools in the gaming world, to create incredibly believable and responsive NPCs. You'll feel like you're part of a living, breathing world as these characters converse naturally, adapt to your questions, and demonstrate a surprising degree of environmental awareness. You can even speak to them using your microphone, and they'll reply in fully-voiced dialogue!
