Origins is a playable short that takes place in the city of Metropolis, where humans and robots coexist under a shaky social system that separates the haves and have nots. After an explosion in Metropolis, you’ve arrived on the scene as the lead detective. You’ll turn on your microphone to question witnesses, uncover the narrative, and crack the case. Characters respond to you in real time with unscripted dialogue and fluid emotions, based on your inquiries.
All of the characters in Origins are powered by artificial intelligence. Origins is a case study created by the team at Inworld to show how developers can incorporate AI NPCs into their game narrative and experiences.

Instead of focusing on the crime scene, I started bullying and harrasing some girl. Just to start explaining the whole lore of breaking bad to her, and ignoring the whole mission. Like any proper detective should.

Me: Do you like your chicken with or without the bone
Civi: I'm sorry...are you referring to chicken wings? There was an explosion that just occurred and we should be focused on that!
Me: Chicken wings with or without the bone?
Civi: Fine...I like my chicken wings with the bone...

Met an angry robot who seemed convinced that there was an anti robot movement. I then gas-lit the shit out of him and convinced him that he was asleep and that he needed to wake up. He then had a mental break down followed by him saying he was afraid to wake up, because "what if reality is even worse than this nightmare"?... I think it backfired, because I'm starting to hyperventilate.

AI: "what does what mean? are you referring to the incident?"
Me yelling: "The numbers mason, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?"
AI: "oh i get it now, you are referring to a call of duty voice line."
Me: *closes game out and checks windows*

The first thing I did was ask Janus if his first name was Hugh. He immediately knew I was making a 'huge anus' joke and made me feel like a complete butthead for being rude to someone I hadn't met.
