Affable Games has released a new launch trailer for Speaking Simulator, a game that has you playing as an android dressed up as a human who must try to fit into the world by convincing people that you’re not a robot.
You can check out the strange launch trailer down below as well as a synopsis of the game via its Steam page:
Infiltrate a world of extremely trusting humans, speak to them, and convince them that you’re definitely not a robot.
You will move your meat mouth in certain ways to make words come out. Somehow, just by waving a wet tongue around and stretching your lips a bit speech happens.
Nobody knows how this works but in this simulation you will have to learn quickly if you don’t want your face to explode.
Unfortunately, there were some corners cut on your safety features. If you make errors your systems will overload and your AI will be forced to relieve pressure by triggering one of the various array of facial explosions and mechanical glitches.
As you upgrade your social mechanics, you will have to learn to smile when something is happy and frown when something is sad. There is also the eye contact upgrade, as humans find it suspicious if you look unceasingly into their eyes with a wide smile as they tell you a tragic story.
GAME FEATURES
- Make your way through 10 different social scenarios such as job interviews, eulogies, doctor examinations, and romantic conversations.
