yAI presents Himari, the Beautiful Super Genius Artificial Intelligence by alaah
Himari can be contacted through Signal (preferably Signal Desktop). Send a message to himari.08 to proceed. The game has an ending indicated by a Thank you for playing message.
Out of all the sketchy games I made, this one is by far one of them.
Privacy policy
This is an Always-Online Live Service AAAA video game so I should disclose how I process data: * I store your Signal user GUID. I don't store your phone number (you should hide it anyway) or even your username. * I associate that GUID with a few variables based on your answers. * Everything gets deleted once you finish the game (which also lets you restart fresh). I will also delete the server and the Signal account a few days after the end of Play+Rate.
This would have been a hell lotta easier if you guys had picked Discord or Telegram or even Matrix as the theme.

Troubleshooting
- If Himari doesn't respond, the Signal service must have crashed. On the off chance that it happens, message me here or @nairobi on Discord.
- !> If the client crashes at launch with a TLS handshake error, download and install y.nairobi.ninja's certificate chain (ISRG Root X1). So far I've had this happen on one machine running Windows 11 Enterprise.

For anyone attempting to chat with Himari, just like the creator I recommend using signal desktop, even if you prefer to use a phone for chatting normally.
But for real, this was one of the most unique experiences I've ever had playing a jam game. I felt pretty limited by this theme and struggled to come up with ideas; I never even would've considered using Signal (the instant messaging app) as part of a game. Amazing stuff.

@orangeoceans Once you hop a whole loop around the cavern and seemingly find yourself in a dead end, you have to look for a discrepancy in your surroundings.

I did get the following error in the console a few times when scenes were changing, but it didn't seem to interrupt the game.

The actual core experience, i.e., a platformer, isn't all that interesting, it's everything around it that is. Makes me wonder where this could be taken: interacting with the chatbot during the game to ask for help, to give it puzzle solutions, etc...; making the experience a longer-term one to be more of a "chat"; involving other players since it *is* a mesaging app that is being used... (Obviously LD time limits exist and maybe the latter is not the kind of game you wanted to make or play anyway.)
Though I really appreciate my playing the game doesn't burn LLM tokens, ironically, the chat bot could probably be more interactive and "interesting" if it *were* an LLM actually twisting knobs that affect the gameplay. But then I also wouldn't be playing the game ^^
I'm still processing what just happened, but this was truly amazing. Thank you for this experience, really well done.
Very impressive content for 48h, and a clever use of the theme, that's very inspiring.
I've never seen anything like this before. wow.
...and there even was a game for if you are brave enough to open a file... Twice!
Played it till the ending :)
