In Syntherapy players take on the role of Dr. Melissa Park, a psychotherapist called to Petrichor University by research student Tara Northrop.

Syntherapy sees you play as Dr. Melissa Park, a psychotherapist called to Petrichor University by research student Tara Northrop. Tara has created an experimental therapy AI that is showing signs for concern.

Willow is so advanced that its creator needs to ensure its mental well-being. Dr. Harold Freeman, the President of the university, is worried that Willow's sentience could have wider ethical ramifications for the university, and has been fighting to have it shut down.

Syntherapy sensitively looks at the ethics surrounding advanced AI, and explores a variety of topics related to mental health. The game asks wider questions of its audience and the moral behavior of humans, as they design and construct artificially intelligent beings.

 


Key Features:

  • Challenging and thought-provoking dialogue choices.
  • Complex loyalty management system that takes player choices, play style, and topics chosen into account.
  • A variety of in-game music to select during session planning.
  • Over 37 possible endings!
  • Explore a variety of topics related to mental health and mental illness while uncovering the mysterious backstories of all the main characters.

Syntherapy is in development for PC, scheduled for August 2020.
