Description
Eliza is a visual novel about an AI counseling program, the people who develop it, and the people who use it. Follow Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey as she reconnects with people from her past, gets to know the people of Seattle who use Eliza for counseling, and decides the course of her future.

After abandoning her high-powered tech career and a mysterious three-year absence, Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey resurfaces working as a proxy for a virtual counseling app called Eliza. Her job consists solely of reading a script provided to her in real-time by an AI, leaving her no autonomy over what she says. Is Eliza a technological marvel that brings therapy to those who otherwise couldn’t access it? Or is it an ineffective replacement and another vector for technology companies to gain control over our lives and humanity?

As she reconnects with people from her past and gets to know the ordinary people of Seattle who use Eliza for counseling, Evelyn finds herself caught in the middle between differing sides of the argument— and as she begins to question everything about her past life and future purpose in the world, it becomes clear she must confront the turmoil and darkness inside.

  • A thought-provoking story told in the form of a visual novel from an award-winning indie team.
  • Follow Evelyn’s journey through a present-day Seattle brought to life with beautiful hand-painted art.
  • Get to know Eliza’s clients and the employees of Skandha, the technology giant behind it, with over a dozen fully-voiced characters and powerful performances from a highly regarded cast.
  • An evocative, ambient original score by the composer for Infinifactory, SHENZHEN I/O, Opus Magnum, and EXAPUNKS.
  • Is AI-driven counseling better than nothing? Is it worse than nothing? What responsibilities come with technical skills? Consider your own answers to these questions and more.
  • Counseling sessions getting a little too real? Relax with Kabufuda Solitaire, a new take on solitaire using Japanese kabufuda cards.

Couldn't stop playing

This is not a perfect game, but what is there is done extremely well. The game is thought-provoking an the writing is stellar. I really liked the protagonist as well, even though I think perhaps she could've been fleshed out a little more. One of the biggest strenghts are probably the counseling sessions, with very good characters that each feel like they could be actualy people. The biggest criticism, if I can call it that: sometimes it's a bit of a 'slideshow'. I mean most Visuel Novels have several facial expressions or lip sync, here the characters and their expressions don't really move and don't change. I didn't mind, but perhaps some people will. Luckily, the English voice acting is superb. Music and sound effects are appropriate, they are good but kind of stay in the background. Finally, the artwork is beautiful, even though there aren't that much scenes. Again didn't really bother me. For some, it might be a little on the short side. But even then, I think it's definitely worth it in a sale.

Te hace pensar

Juego cortito, muy rejugable, con múltiples finales y una historia que te hace pensar.

A pretentious relic

Eliza has serious problems: 1. The game makes you feel annoyed & without agency by design to make a message. You can choose an ending, but there is literally no interaction until then. Just clicking through dialogue. 2. The "AI" is just a glorified chatbot. The therapy sessions are just the Bot being like "Its raining, huh?", "How does that make you feel" & "Do some breathing exercises & take some drugs". Incredibly annoying by design. And while modern AIs deserve a lot of criticism, these criticisms are completely different from this bland mess. 3. The overarching message is equally bland: corpo=bad because inhuman. This great revelation is screaming through every single scene & character. Its not wrong, but incredibly boring very quickly. The voice actors were great & the writers were really good at creating interesting characters feeling human. Its just a real shame the game is such a bland mess.

Beautiful visual novel!

The review of SoltBegins says it all and inspired me to buy the game. Definitely worth the experience, Zachtronics nailed it again!
