Machines that think? Well that’s what our next game is based on. It’s called “Mental Repairs, Inc.” by Renzo Thönen. Mental Repairs, Inc is another adventure game, but made with the Wintermute engine this time. Mental Repairs, Inc is about someone named Henrik Liaw, a ‘machine psychiatrist’. What? A shrink for machines? You’ve got to be kidding me right? No, actually, this seems very logical. In this game in the future all machines have computers (pretty much like today), and the AI is so advanced they now represent human mental processes, in other words virtual minds. What do we do when humans need debugging, we go see a shrink. So it’s only natural that machines with advanced AI, need to see psychiatrists to help fix them from the inside.
