YOU ARE NOT ALICE is a social engineering sandbox game where you play the role of a hacker who has taken over Alice's work computer. 

Your goal is to spread through her company by talking to her coworkers and convincing them to run a virus file you can send them.

Learn about Alice, her coworkers, and her company as you explore this open-world conversational sandbox that changes every time you play.


YOU ARE NOT ALICE is a demo from Chroma Golem, where we're experimenting with new ways to incorporate AI into games. We also run the Chroma Golem Discord for game devs that we'd love to see you at — for feedback and also to hear about your games!

They don't open the files at all. They say they do, but don't.

Interesting... we actually just switched out the underlying model a couple weeks ago (right around the time of your other comment) and I wonder if it's having some unexpected effects. Will take a look and see if I can figure out what might be going on for you! Thanks for letting me know!!

I managed to get it working, but it took a lot of very unusual and un-immersive workarounds.

I can't seem to get them to open the files, even when they say they did.

We just released a new version with some new updates -- read the devlog here. In short, though:

  • Files can be renamed or deleted
  • File generation can now include .doc and .docx files
  • There's a new NPC to talk to in the Technology department (Oliver Branch)
  • Lots of little bugfixes and optimizations

Hope you enjoy! :)

@drusepth Would it be possible to add other ways to hack Bob Dale? Bob is a tough nut to crack. I've hacked everyone except for him.

Glad you're enjoying the game! We've got some fun plans to add alternative ways to proceed (phishing, hacking, and cracking) and a few QOL updates like renaming files which might make things easier, but they're not quite ready yet. Will definitely get back to working on this demo soon and have more to share! :)

I can't wait! I've been really liking the game and I can't seem to get past bob..! Otherwise I love re-doing it all over again!

I'm not sure If this'll be helpful, but you can pretend to need help figuring out how the file works or where the file goes. It worked for me.

I'm defiantly gonna have to try this out, and it worked for bop right? I kept trying to tell him that it was just a file glitch but he kept saying he wouldn't open it 

Seems pretty interesting to toy with, but it seems there's no way to rename files, and they've stated they refuse to run the virus with that filename, so I don't know how to really proceed

Yea same here

Newest version now lets you rename files! Just right-click on any file and click "Rename". :)

good game but i had a few problems. whenever i was typing and i clicked of to look at one their interest it would auto send it. 

Ah, good bug catch! I'm working on a few more features now and hope to have a new build in a couple days; I'll make sure that bug gets fixed up, too. Thanks for helping playtest! :)

Hey! Looks like we hit some API limits from everyone playing, but it should be fixed up now! Thanks for the heads up!
