Hysterai
July 6, 2025
Race against time and an ever-evolving AI amoeba in this modern take on the myth of Sisyphus. As you struggle to reach the summit, the amoeba learns, adapts, and changes the very rules of the game itself - illustrating the relentless advance of AI that will inevitably catch up to us all.
About
Hysterai captures the inevitability of AI through gameplay mechanics where the antagonist - an organic, blob-like amoeba - doesn’t just chase you, it actively rewrites the rules. Using OpenAI’s API, the amoeba makes intelligent decisions to hinder your progress: inverting controls, distorting your vision, slowing your movement, or growing stronger.
