Eliza

Visual novel where you work as a human proxy for an AI therapy app. You're Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey, reading scripted responses generated by software to real clients in crisis. The setup: you relay what the algorithm tells you to say, watching people pour out problems to what they think is empathetic tech. Between sessions, you reconnect with former colleagues who built the system and locals around Seattle. Conversations branch based on your responses, affecting how Evelyn reconciles her past in the industry with what she's witnessing now. No puzzles or failure states—this is about tracking the fallout when automation handles emotional labor. The cast includes the app's architect, a skeptical journalist, and clients who don't know they're talking to a script. If you want a story interrogating who benefits when code replaces counselors, it delivers that without preaching.
