Origins

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.
