Static Sky: And Yet It █████ is a literary computer game based on the fear of and resistance to artificial intelligence. It imagines a future ruled by AI world models, where everything is generated by AI, reality is redefined, hometowns are reshaped, and symbols are reoriented.
In this future, the protagonist wears a RV (Real Virtuality) headset that claim to show "reality" within the "virtual." The seemingly real traces revealed by the RV glasses (such as unfinished noise and uncolored white objects) trigger his mental breakdown and fear of reality.
By depicting this collapse and the disintegration of meaning caused by reality, Static Sky: And Yet It █████ presents a possible future of extreme artificial intelligence. The protagonist's mental symptoms are a hypothesis about the broader human cognition of the future.
Static Sky is a “walking simulator” style game that takes players into the world of the protagonist to experience a series of vignettes and scenarios - some from the protagonist's lived experience, others generated by the generative AI Sekai.
Average Play Experience Time: 1 to 2 hours
Note: Although this work deals with artificial intelligence and generative content, this is not a game generated by AI. A small number of individual assets were produced with the aid of AI working from images we own, for the purpose of demonstrating the contrast between a human- and AI-produced image. Please see the statement of ethics inside the program for full details, and hire and pay real humans to produce art.
