How:
Here is My Power Button is a game about humans interacting with prototype companion AIs in a scientific study. Those playing humans will form their character identities with guidance from a prompt, whereas AI characters start as blank slates and will develop their identities through interactions with their human companions. This game explores mature themes including intimacy, identity, strongly uneven power dynamics, death, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. The game also has a tragic twist that cannot be completely avoided, so players are advised to manage their expectations accordingly.
