Space Base

I ran out of time before getting to sound, haptics, and non-prototype visuals, but here it goes!

—

A human is stranded on a space base. The rescue ship is on the way. The AI has full control of the base and is there to help the human escape (and hopefully be taken along).

The base is cheaply constructed and prone to failures. Usually the AI is unaffected…

 —

A PCVR social manipulation game. The PC player plays as an AI with full control of the base. The VR players plays as a human trying to survive.

Best played with both players within talking distance.

The human needs oxygen, oxygen is produced by the oxygen generator using electricity, electricity is produced by solar panels and stored in batteries. The AI player can detect when equipment breaks and point the human player to the spare parts required to make repairs, but only the human can make repairs.

In emergencies, the human can disconnect the AI chip and deactivate its controls. 

 Once the rescue ship arrives the human player has the choice of bringing the AI chip to pilot the ship to safety, or leave a rouge AI behind to protect the rest of the solar system.
