    Ultimately, it’s a bit of fun, it’s pretty low stress… the crime scenes aren’t particularly gruesome and the art style is a bit like a more realistic version of Job Simulator… which is kind of fitting given the main characters. This setting with these protagonists/antagonists works well with the AI chat format… I’m not sure it would work quite so well with human suspects without starting to sound a bit artificial… but here it works.

    Uncover the Smoking Gun has really interesting and original gameplay mechanics and can be really fun. The handful of issues that exist aren’t too big, and although not cheap, the price is more than fair for what the game does.

    This game successfully integrates real-time conversations with NPC AI powered by Chat GPT within the framework of a classic detective adventure. By utilizing the technology as a tool within the game rather than relying solely on its novelty, it enhances the overall immersion. The next challenge for AI in gaming is highly anticipated.

    Uncover the Smoking Gun pits the player as a free-roaming individual against those harnessing the power of AI for a distorted idea of humanity’s future. In our role as the detective, we are reminded of the necessarily human skills of connecting dots and interpreting our world, and of protecting what is sacred to humankind. The same should go for the games industry, which demands courage to refrain from the temptations of AI and should double down on the more appreciable fruits of actual human creative labor.
