Developer MorphLand has released a free Steam title called "Simulation Simulator," which integrates a local large language model to serve as an in-game NPC. The game is a freeform conversation experience where players attempt to convince their AI companion that reality is a simulation.
The developer describes the project as an experiment to explore how LLMs can be used gracefully for video game progression and non-player character interactions. It features offline capability, allowing the model to run entirely locally without external connectivity.
MorphLand notes mixed reception on Steam, attributing negative reviews to general skepticism of AI or discomfort with specific narrative outcomes like a romance ending. The developer is seeking feedback from other game developers interested in implementing AI in non-generic ways.
