what this game is: you sit by a fire with a strange man called bingus. you goal is to convince him that he is not real. you do this by freely typing whatever you want and he will intelligently respond. this can lead to some wild conversations. there are multiple endings where bingus will either reject what you are trying to tell him, belive you or some other ending.

this game has a built in chat bot that does not require any online connection or subscription. so you can replay as often and as long as you want without limit. bingus also displays his facial expressions through his monitor head. this makes him a very decent NPC.

the downside is that he will allways steer the conversation towards one of the endings. so experimenting with how he responds will allways lead back to him insinuating that he is in a simulation even if you never said so. i belive this may be a memory limit as the chatbot may only be asble to store so much history before it starts making mistakes. what happens is, you might be talking about camping and all of a sudden, he will say: your talking weird man, im starting to wonder if im real or not. that is kind of a bummer.

I actually love this concept and appreciate the fact it is not some anime person. I would like to see this idea expanded into something with less limits, more mechanics and more than one NPC.

Playing poker with three NPCs: bluffing, chatting, making them loose their composure
pool with bingus: play pool while chatting to bingus
Appocolipse: you and two NPCs must scavange to survive and keep your sanity
Gem Hunters: you and two NPCs must operate a mining claim. dig, sift and sell jems to the highest bidder.

there are many possibillities. I wish the makers luck and look forward to what is next.
