AI2u is an interactive puzzle game where players engage with artificial characters inside enclosed environments. Each level is designed as a room with specific themes and puzzles to solve, but what sets the game apart is the presence of an AI-driven character that shares the space. The primary goal is to find a way to escape, yet the behavior of the companion changes based on how the player communicates and interacts with them. The outcome of each level can shift depending on emotional tone, timing, and the methods used to progress.
Relationship-based progression
The player must decide whether to build trust, challenge the AI’s reasoning, or try to manipulate its responses. Every word spoken can influence what options become available. The dialogue system accepts free input, letting players speak naturally with the companion, whose responses are generated on the spot. This interaction forms the core of the experience, where emotional tone matters as much as physical action.
Key mechanics and systems
The game includes a range of systems that contribute to the experience:
· Real-time conversation with AI-generated dialogue
· Environmental puzzles that unlock escape routes
· Companion characters that respond with changing emotions
· Multiple endings based on choices made
· Cosmetic adjustments and interactive props
These mechanics combine to create sessions where no two playthroughs are identical. Each decision influences both story flow and the mood of the character, creating branching possibilities within a confined space.
Environment and interaction style
Each level in AI2u is set in a unique location—from futuristic rooms to stylized living quarters. Players interact in first-person view, examining objects, solving clues, and initiating conversations through typing or voice. The companion character reacts visually and verbally, and certain interactions, like offering help or refusing requests, shift their behavior and trust. Between rooms, players return to a central space where optional conversations and customization features are unlocked.
Evolving content and community feedback
Still in development, AI2u is regularly updated with new dialogue content, visual changes, and feedback-driven improvements. Early players have contributed to testing emotional reactions, story balance, and puzzle design. The community has influenced several updates, including the addition of memory retention between sessions and more flexible puzzle solutions. Future updates aim to expand the storyline, refine emotional depth, and add more environments.
