According to its creators:
This game is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that prestige has a price.
They also describe it as “the most expensive game on Steam.”
Players enter a palace, walk a red carpet, and see their names displayed for future owners. No idea if this game is a joke or a social experiment
I could’ve sworn there was some instructional game in steam for like $10k or something. Maybe it was less and/or has since been removed.
you mean the visual novel with ai generated backgrounds?
I am not familiar with what you’re talking about. It may well could have been presented as a visual novel, but only in the sense that you click through it. My recollection was that it was a corporate training thing (which have similar layouts to visual novels lol). As far as AI generated backgrounds though, I don’t think so. Memories are not reliable, of course, but I’m fairly certain this was pre pandemic. AI images existed then, but it was mostly the dog-filled deep dream images and sketchy dall-e stuff. Maybe it used that, it’s not impossible, but it wasn’t really at the level of quality back then where you’d be tempted to use it over stock images.
I think the program had something to do with fire diamonds, those 45° offset squares with numbers in the top three corners to give a quick overview of dangerous materials are.
