Inworld Origins is a playable short that takes place in the city of Metropolis, where humans and robots coexist under a shaky social system that separates the haves and have nots. After an explosion in Metropolis, you’ve arrived on the scene as the lead detective. You’ll turn on your microphone to question witnesses, uncover the narrative, and crack the case. Characters respond to you in real time with unscripted dialogue and fluid emotions, based on your inquiries.

Origins is a case study created by the team at Inworld to show how AI NPCs can transform game narratives and experiences. This project was produced in conjunction with John Gaeta, the Academy Award Winning creator best known for his work on The Matrix and The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience.
