'The Oversight Bureau' Is A Speech Driven Orwellian Puzzle Game Powered By NVIDIA ACE - Trailer

The Oversight Bureau is a speech driven Orwellian puzzle game where you play as Candidate 404, trapped in an underground reconditioning facility.

Every day you’re forced to participate in simulations as the Bureau attempts to reprogram your mind and turn you into a more compliant member of society. The player interacts with the game using speech, which the ACE model then transcribes into text.

NVIDIA ACE is a suite of technologies that brings game characters to life with AI. It enables a new generation of living breathing worlds, filled with knowledgeable companions, dynamic agents, and conversational actors.

The Oversight Bureau uses NVIDIA's latest on-device NVIDIA Riva Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model to provide high word accuracy at real-time performance and latency, with word-boosting and streaming functionality for English transcription. Iconic’s patent-pending Narrative Engine uses an AI model to analyze and understand the transcription and another model to determine and deliver dialogue, behavior and theatrical performance that best fits the situation.

The Oversight Bureau is coming to PC later this year and will be playable at NVIDIA’s Gamescom B2B press suite.
