Language has the power to shape our reality. What if it could also mold the virtual worlds we inhabit? 1001 Nights ia a narrative game inspired by Wittgenstein's assertion: The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.". In this game, Shahrzad, the protagonist, can transform spoken stories from other people into tangible in-game elements. When keywords like 'sword', knife', or `shield' are spoken, they materialize in the game world.

Powered by generative AI, "1001 Nights" is divided into storytelling and battle phases. During storytelling, players control Shahrzad, strategically guiding an AI King to narrate tales with keywords, which in turn generate unique weapons based on the story. As these weapons are collected, the world in the story begins to invade the game's reality, a transformation visualized using large language model (LLM) GPT-4 and the text-to-image model Stable Diffusion. Once four weapons are collected, players transition to the battle phase, where they use their collected arsenal to confront the King, with effect from the story they tell. The end goal is to rewrite Shahrzad's fate, diverging from the traditional folklore.

This game blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Shahrzad seeks to reshape her destiny, challenging patriarchal norms. Players, in tandem with AI, redefine the game's boundaries, crafting stories that surpass authorial constraints. Here, language doesn't just describe the world; it creates it, a phenomenon amplified by generative AI.

Note: When collecting the weapon, it will float around 20 - 30s --- this is when the world is generating through stable diffusion, so it took a while.
This game supports both Chinese and English.

Moira McKinnon is running away to sea. But to get there she must cross the Highlands—a cruel wilderness of paths, peaks, shortcuts and dangers, rendered in a 2.5D hand-animated, impressionistic style.

Every peak has a story to tell and every valley echoes with song. Giants sleep, ghosts sing, crows carry messages, and eagles lift the dead. The hills are full of secrets and stories, but what you find will depend on where you go. The narrative is not branching but weaving; a handcrafted mesh of history, mythology and family secrets. Which path will you take? No two games will be the same.

Featuring a killer soundtrack by Heaven's Vault composer Laurence Chapman and two multi-award-winning giants of the Scottish folk scene, TALISK and Fourth Moon. Royalty of the festival circuit, these two bands combine virtuosic instrumental playing with fast, inventive rhythms, to produce new tunes in traditional styles played with beauty, energy and swagger.

A Highland Song is the latest narrative adventure game from inkle, creators of 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, and last year's surprise hit Overboard!

The elevator pitch for Best Good Dog is "tik tok paper dog." It's a super casual dog customization, dress up, and photo/video studio game, meant for all ages to share their creations and have fun. It will be a paid app on iOS, with regular free updates for doggo customization options, outfits, backgrounds, animations, and more.

This game started as a love letter to our first dog, Vino, who we said goodbye to in 2022. We have since adopted a senior dog (and added her to the game immediately). It's been a nice therapy to have a digital version of Vino to give belly rubs and ear scritches to, and I am hoping that others can use it for the same purpose, in addition to making doggos do silly things in silly hats.

The goal for Best Good Dog is to be a relaxing, stress-free experience with you and your doggo. We encourage sharing photos and videos online!

Broken Roads is a narrative-driven RPG that brings exploration, strategic turn-based combat and meaningful philosophical choices to an all-new Australian post-apocalyptic setting.

Furthermore, even the game's atmospheric soundtrack composed by Tim Sunderland is composed with instruments constructed from everyday objects which brings a wholly unique and distinctive tone to the game.

One in every three young people will have an unhealthy relationship before they become adults. Interpersonal violence remains the third leading cause of teen death, contributing to one in every five teen suicides. There is a clear need for more awareness-building and preventive interventions that support teens in living safe and healthy lives.

Cadence Ford, a single-player, text-based strategy video game, responds to that need with a safe, playful space for teens to familiarize themselves with unhealthy behaviors that may surface in relationships. As players interact with each story in the game, they must figure out how to talk with their friends about uncomfortable issues and offer assistance in their unique circumstances. Meaningful gameplay supports meaningful learning as players practice having difficult conversations. The game, developed with teen mental health and social and emotional learning experts at iThrive Games, builds on the One Love Foundation's mission to bring life-saving prevention education to young people and expands on their honoring of Yeardley Love—a daughter, friend, and student-athlete whose life was tragically and brutally cut short by an ex-boyfriend in 2010 three weeks shy of graduating from the University in Virginia. Cadence Ford helps young people learn to love better and be with partners who practice healthy love, ensuring Yeardley's legacy of joy lives on.

《Aliisha》The Oblivion of Twin Goddesses - Game Introduction

Story Outline :
Lisha and Aisha are twin sisters. They are born with certain characters that set them different from ordinary people. Lisha, a few seconds older than Aisha, is gifted with a highly rational mind but nearly incapable of perceiving emotions or affection. On the other hand, Aisha is very sensitive and susceptible. She loves to go on advanturous trips and often gets injured, but she cannot feel any pain. During one trip, Aisha discovered an abandoned temple that exists in a folklore told by local people. The legend has it that all the priests served in the past at the temple are all twins. Furthermore, Aisha learns that a certain mysterious appliance in the temple can integrate the souls of twins. Eager to solve the mystery, Aisha urges Lisha to go exploring the temple together. Though not convinced, Lisha send her AI robot "AMBU" to go on the advanture with Aisha as her urge persists.

Throughout the game, Aisha and the AI robot "AMBU" explore the temple together. Players are challenged with great eye-hand synergetic skills to role-play Aisha and a cool rational mind to role-play "AMBU". The game will be most well played with complementary "asymmerical information" sharing and coorperation. There are multiple choices for players to make and different choices may lead to different endings. Try it out with your friends, lovers, or family members and see how well you make a team. Enjoy the unique adventure journey of Aliisha.

Game Mode :
In the game, Aisha and Lisha will be controlled in their own distinctive way, so that the players will enjoy the playing experience exclusive to themselves.
Furthermore, features of both Joy-Con and HD Rumble are designed to operate mechanical devices in the story.
In other words, both players not only have to brainstorm to solve puzzles, but they also need to move around to pass one level and another in the ruins.

Duo players, adventure and puzzle :
For those who like going on an adventure like Aisha, your teammate needs to be physically agile as the game is majorly designed with motion control, only for Joy Con. On TV, you need to solve the puzzle with actual movements in real life. Your stability is the key to solving puzzles. That's why you should team up with someone that is good at playing with a grip strengthener!

If you play the practical and tech-savvy Lisha, you play with Switch, controlling AMBU remotely. Inside the temple, you have to collect all kinds of clues about emotions. Meanwhile, you exchange clues with Aisha. The more circumspect you are, the more clues you will find. Team up with someone with eagle eyes!

Diverse endings in different modes :
In duo-player mode, a player is either in TV mode or handheld mode. Each player has to exchange their specific pieces of information from their character's unique perspective for completing the clues to solve the puzzle. By making diverse choices, players will enjoy further story progress and different endings. For those who like going on an adventure like Aisha, your teammate needs to be physically agile as the game is majorly designed with motion control, only for Joy Con. On TV, you need to solve the puzzle with actual movements in real life. Your stability is the key to solving puzzles. That's why you should team up with someone that is good at playing with a grip strengthener!

Distinguished BGMs complements each other :
Unlike most games with the monotonic music, our team has composed two scores, based on the twin sisters' characteristics and uniqueness. When you play with friends or partner, you will hear two different scores that complement each other so beautifully that they reach perfection. When you play Aliisha in the duo-player mode, you will not be interfered by different BGM played in the other storyline. Meanwhile, the scores allow you to understand your character better. When you immerse yourself in the story of Aliisha, you will feel the connection and bond between the twin sisters.
