AI Tools Used
OpenAI Codex assisted game design, TypeScript implementation, tests, tooling and documentation under human direction and review. OpenRouter was used with Microsoft MAI Voice 2 and Google Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS for local bilingual voice assets, and Google Veo 3.1 Lite for the local briefing video. OpenAI image generation produced one fictional portrait. FFmpeg was used for editing, optimization and QA. All AI outputs were reviewed and packaged locally; the game makes no AI or network calls at runtime. Gameplay trailer: https://youtu.be/UY-b1d4fjo0

I like the sound and narrative.
i like it! It is pretty polished and weird and cool to play. keep on building it!
The game is a bit complicated, probably my fault. I really liked that there was voice acting in the game. Good game.
The voices are AI generated using Microsoft MAI Voice 2. Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback!
What a good use of the random generating tile from observing, sadly often the very edge of the tiles cannot be observed to collapse to form a full terrain. Still, a nice entry!
Thank you so much for playing and for the comment! You are totally right, I have not managed to complete the entire terrain either. The idea was for there always to be something left unobserved, so each run could feel a little different. I really appreciate your feedback!
Yeah, that was one of the strangest games I played in a while. You know I've been dreaming of making a game with quantum mechanic for 10 years now, still with no clear idea. As a point and click fan it is extremely harder to do it in this genre strickly. Your game is cool in that we are making terrain by observation. But the way I played it was to look directly under your foot and it always creates grass that way - I prefer grass to bombs, but that's just me probably. Any way if art is suppose to throw you out of your comfort zone this game was deffinetely art!
Thank you so much for playing it all the way to the end! I also think quantum-mechanical concepts are fascinating material for game mechanics and could help introduce some of these ideas to a wider audience, so if you ever find the right concept for your game, I would genuinely love to see it.
The Wave Function Collapse algorithm, although it isn’t a literal simulation of quantum mechanics, is especially interesting when applied to procedural map generation. I don’t know whether you’ve seen Townscaper, but it’s one of my favourite examples of this kind of constraint-based procedural approach. The game’s quantum framing is also loosely inspired by the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Looking directly at your feet to generate mostly safe grass is an interesting strategy, and probably useful balancing feedback! Thank you again; I truly appreciate it!
That's the deal, I don't have a concept for a quantum video game that I would like myself. The best example of quantum game I know is actually a sudoku - different cells extremely entangled and each number has a cloud of possibilities that would collapse into exactly one place.
I agree, it is difficult to find quantum mechanics outside puzzle games. There is also a Quantum Chess game that works in a similar way. You might find this resource interesting: Quantum Fun.
Trippy and very creative. Honestly, a little esoteric and hard to understand. I sorta get that it was about uncertainty principle and quantum states. Excellent use of AI in art and sound. Kind of strange that it gave me first person minesweeper vibes, except that the mines revealed themselves merely by observing long enough. Overall, great job. It is a world that I'd love to know more about and like to see some similar games!
Thank you so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback — I really appreciate it! The first-person Minesweeper comparison is great; I honestly hadn’t thought of it that way before, but I can definitely see it. I agree that the game is intentionally a little strange and difficult to understand. The idea was to drop you in medias res, almost like an intermediate mission from a larger game, with very little context and a world you gradually try to make sense of. I’m really glad it left you wanting to know more about it. Thanks again!
