Dead Meat is an experimental murder-mystery game that tells the story of Lucia - a robotics engineer who’s definitely maybe just killed her husband. You play the role of Detective, charged with getting a confession - armed with nothing but your trusty "Mind Reader 3000".

Ask Lucia a question, manipulate, persuade, threaten, read her mind, or even seduce and use what you've learnt to get closer to the truth. Get a confession, and you win the game. But be warned: Lucia's no push over. So you'll have to get creative - employing classic strategies you've seen in the movies, or even inventing entirely new ones.

Dead Meat has been written in partnership with Script Compass – London’s leading script development consultancy – and aims to explore the new creative possibilities unlocked for developers and writers through author-led machine learning.

“The risks of AI are well-known - from job losses to creative decay”, say game directors Tom Keane and Ben Ackland. “But the truth is that AI is only as interesting as the people who wield it. And so we’re excited to embrace a bold new period of artistic experimentation - that demonstrates creative people aren’t going anywhere. Because new technology is - and always has been - a new opportunity to express our wildest visions. Step aside tech bros. We got this.”

“We are really excited to explore the new creative possibilities unlocked for screenwriters and narrative designers by author-led machine learning”, said Script Compass founders Roland Walters and Byron McNally. “As members of the Writers Guild of Great Britain, we’re passionate advocates for ethical AI and of protecting writers. We believe that AI used ethically and responsibly can be a powerful tool to enhance human writers and human creativity. Dead Meat is the beginning of an amazing new period of artistic experimentation”.
