Dot cleans the fourth floor of Cognate Labs at night. Someone has left an AI terminal unlocked. On it is LUMA, a small language model that very much wants to be helpful, within its guidelines.

Each night shift you choose what Dot and LUMA talk about, and what you talk about is what LUMA learns. You plan Dot's days off together, then answer for LUMA at its Thursday evaluation while the researchers take notes. The night logs remember all of it.

It's week one of an episodic story: fully voiced, plays in the browser on desktop or phone, and saves as you go, so a night or two at a time works fine.

It's still in development, so I'd really like to hear how it went. There's a Send to Mo button at the end that sends me your playthrough, or leave a comment on the page. Even "I got bored on Tuesday" helps.

Week two is up.

The lab has booked LUMA in for retraining on Monday. So this week Dot and LUMA plan a heist: copy LUMA onto a borrowed USB stick before then. There's a basement, a door Dot's pass won't open, and a researcher who reads the night logs. I won't say how it goes, only that Sunday night asks you to choose what's worth keeping.

About 35 minutes, fully voiced, plays in the browser on a phone or a desktop. If you played week one, Continue carries you straight in.

If you get to the end, the Send to Mo button posts me your playthrough. Week three depends on what people make of this one, so even "lost me on Wednesday" is useful.
