🐱phish
Thank you everyone for trying out my game! Its currently offline (see in comment section) but will be back soon with more content!
Introduction
In 🐱phish, you're an aspiring social engineer with a specific talent: tricking young, naive guys into exposing themselves.
After identifying a promising target, you assume a convincing cover (a friend of a friend, a fake recruiter, maybe a therapist from BetterHelp) and from there you use authority, charm, pressure or promises to steer the interaction toward the desirable outcome.
As your confidence (and reputation) grows, you will find yourself going after more challenging targets that could get you access to situations and authority you never thought possible.
Dev Note
This is an experimental AI game in the early stages of development. My goal is to add stakes and challenge to LLM interactions. There's very little content currently & lots of bugs.
If you still tried it, please let me know what you thought. I have a lot of ideas for content but I'm aware this is a strange, niche concept so I want to see if it works before I commit more fully.
Only one character is playable right now (Noah), but I will update with more soon.
A LOT of tuning and work is needed before the game reaches its intended state but I'm convinced its possible.
My Discord if you want to contact me. I'm happy to listen to your feedback & ideas.
If you liked the game and want to support its development, I have a Patreon ❤️

Hey, everyone!
I appreciate a lot everyone trying out my small prototype.
My AI credits have expired (or are just about to) sooner than expected because of the traffic. 🙀
But it's all good (though I apologize if it interrupted you mid chat). If I had thought so many people would be interested in playing it, I would have invested more time in the characters and content.
I have a lot of ideas for that so I'm a bit embarrassed to be showing the game in an early state.
If you really liked it and you'd like to support the development, I made a Patreon! It would mean a lot if anyone subscribed. (There's no rewards currently but soon)
My plan is to make this a free daily game with early & more content for subscribers.
Note: To the "hackers" editing the client to unlock characters. I appreciate the enthusiasm but I promise that the showcase characters are barely a first draft (or not even) and you're better of trying them out when they release 😽

Actually, that was one of the best games that I ever seen. It's so real. You shou really be proud of yourself. Please continue updating, I really want to see the other characters. And their body's 😏 (btw I think it would be cool if you could let us chat with the character after the objective is complete, even if there is nothing to do or see, I would like to hit on Noah even if he's not going to show anything more.
Thank you and I agree! I plan to add optional objectives after the last one that get much more extreme and riskier for a higher reward.
Yeah, sorry about that! The game uses a pretty big LLM (70b) so its not too cheap to run.
But the battery (your messages) recharges daily. If you click on the time in the phone UI, it will tell you how soon it will happen.
Also part of the intended challenge is to be able to get through characters in as few messages as possible. Its part of what will allow me to keep this as a free daily game.
Hopefully its not too annoying or hard😽
Edit: I should mention that this release is an early demo and will probably only be available for a few days (ie until my AI credits expire)
I really love what you have so far. Is it just Noah right now, or can you unlock others? Or do I need an access code for that? If so, is there a way I could get one?
Thanks, I appreciate it! Only Noah right now but I have a few other characters almost complete.
The access code is a lie but I aim to eventually allow people to help me test WIP characters with it, cause it takes a lot of iteration and time interacting with the AI to get a character to a good state.
I hope to get an update in soon before my midterms start 😿
Really unique idea. Loved playing it. The only issue is that the videos didn't seem to properly load for me. Looking forward to seeing what's next otherwise

Thank you for pointing out this issue! Can you check if they show now? Itchio didn't like trailing slashes in the path for some reason...
They are showing now! C:
Damn you saved me 😹
Also thanks a lot for the positive words.
