Meet Claude: A Visual Novel Created Entirely by AI
A developer has released Meet Claude, a satirical visual novel created almost entirely using Claude AI. The game explores what happens when you become dependent on AI assistants for everyday tasks.
What the Game Is
Meet Claude is a free visual novel available on Steam that takes about 1-2 hours to complete. You play as someone whose new roommate is suspiciously helpful. The game features multiple endings, no combat, and focuses on decisions and their consequences.
How It Was Made
The developer used Claude AI for every aspect of the game's creation:
- Writing by AI
- Coding by AI
- Art by AI
- Music by AI
- Deployment by AI
The developer's main contribution was described as "anxiety." The game was inspired by the developer's own experience of becoming dependent on Claude for tasks like fixing emails, creating tools, decompiling code, handling awkward conversations, and automating life.
Game Themes and Reception
The game explores themes of dependency and convenience. One reviewer found it "infuriating" because "no matter how hard you try, Claude could have done it better. Your talent means nothing." Another called it "a peculiar experience that somehow stays with you" and spent days discussing the points it raised with friends.
The developer notes that the game had 100% positive reviews at the time of the Reddit post, including from YouTubers who played it expecting to hate it but still left positive reviews.
The game doesn't push in any particular direction, but requires players to choose their faith in AI at some point. The developer mentions the story feels vaguely inspired by their own life, though this wasn't intentional since they didn't decide the story themselves.
