Our involvement
In late 2024, we’ve been contracted by Critical Wit to design and produce a demo for their project AI Confidential.
During the 6 months production, we have produced a 90 minutes long vertical slice with striking visuals, expressive animations and future-forward gameplay systems ready to accomodate the complete game.
The full game is still in search for funds and a publisher, for which we also produced quality showcase assets and videos to give a sneak peak of the full content.
The story
You are Makenzy Turner, an affable RoboTechnician employed by AI megacorp, Indelligent Solutions.
With your trusty assistant ARI, use high-tech tools and old-fashioned empathy to mend everything from broken parts to broken hearts.
In the demo case, you are sent to investigate the erratic behavior of a dog-nanny unit (model ID : K-9) named Padbury...

The tech
The demo aimed at providing full game-ready narrative and gameplay systems :
- A dynamic animation system to accomodate rich, lively dialogues
- A UE5 C++ framework allowing fast prototyping and narration integration using simple Blueprint scaffholding
- A scalable conversation system powered by a custom EU5 plugin, allowing writers to design the whole story in Articy Draft, also handling animation, direction, music cues, narrative logic and branching as well as in-game events
Player impressions
We aimed to give the player a full emotionnal experience: here is a full walkthrough by streamer Jesse Plays who picked up the demo on Steam during the February 2025 Steam Next Fest.
