Review: Doki Doki AI Interrogation

Doki Doki AI Interrogation plays with the latest AI technology. The use of ChatGPT was fascinating. Moreover, the sense of oppression and the borderline absurd sense of misjustice were fantastic. In short, if you have ever dreamed of incriminating an innocent individual for personal gain, this is the game for you!

This cruel interrogation title was developed and published by YAMADA. This solo experience is only available on PC and relies heavily on ChatGPT. Accordingly, if there is an issue with the AI tech, you will be left up shit creak without a paddle. Thankfully, I never encountered any problems and loved my short and cruel time as an aggressive police officer. 

Doki Doki AI Interrogation tells an odd story.

At first glance, Doki Doki AI Interrogation has no story and limited guidance. However, as you understand the mechanics and get your “victim” to confess, the story unfolds. The shocking twist creates an uncomfortable sense of morality that is tough to swallow. Additionally, if you believe that AI is taking over the world, you may wish to wear a tinfoil hat to protect you at all times.

The horrific truth behind the interrogation leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Yet, once the guilt subsided, I relished the opportunity to get more creative with my line of questioning. The result was a ridiculous barrage of abuse, lies, and underhand tactics. Consequently, the AI had no option but to break and confess his non-existent sins. Though I knew this was wrong, it made me laugh nonetheless.

Intelligent game design.

The action revolves around 7 short questions. Each time you spit a question at the detainee, the ChatGPT gets to work. A smooth answer is thrown your way, and you must twist the narrative to suit your agenda. However, 7 questions isn’t a lot, and it can be challenging to piece together a sensible narrative. Accordingly, your conversation will be strange and you must roll with the punches.

Doki Doki AI Interrogation could be improved if there were more suspects to question. What’s more, if the developer incorporated a note system and the ability to build a rapport with each person, then there would be plenty of depth. As it is, every session feels rushed. This was unfortunate, but it was mitigated with the introduction of a hard mode. 

This additional game mode should make the action more challenging. However, my questioning became increasingly absurd. This let my imagination run wild, but the sense of realism was sadly reduced. Accordingly, though it was a step in the right direction, it wasn’t perfectly implemented.

Doki Doki AI Interrogation has a futuristic edge.

The neon colour palette and the ghostly suspect were great to look at. Consequently, this title has a pleasant sci-fi edge that works with the theme. Furthermore, the setting was suitable even though it lacked variety. Had unique interrogation rooms and a range of suspects been included, then this problem would have been overcome.

The audio is equally rudimentary. I loved the suspenseful sound effects and the minor dialogue layers. You can sense the frustration and fear as the pressure increases. However, the gameplay is so short that the drama is over before it begins.

Simple controls.

The action focuses on your questions and little else. Accordingly, the controls are undeniably simple. My only gripe is the limited characters for each question. This reduced approach forces the user to turn to “text” spelling. Though it works, I despise poor grammar and shortened words. Subsequently, the total character count should be increased or removed altogether.

Doki Doki AI Interrogation is far too short. Your first playthrough is bound to fail. Yet, once you get to grips with things, you will fly through every other interrogation. Additionally, the hard mode isn’t challenging enough. Therefore, though the concept is fascinating, and the execution is superb, I was disappointed by the short playtime.

Doki Doki AI Interrogation is a great concept.

I love it when games push boundaries. Thankfully, Doki Doki AI Interrogation does just that. I adore the concept and the absurd nature of the questioning. Moreover, the hard mode was an interesting idea that needed some minor tweaks. If the developer enhances the core gameplay and creates a sense of depth, then this will fulfil its potential. Accordingly, I adore it and I recommend buying it here! Will you make the suspect crack? Choose your approach, trick your suspect, and get a confession.

SUMMARY

Doki Doki AI Interrogation is a fascinating concept. This short game lets you twist the narrative and torture your suspect. Moreover, it ups the ante once the hard mode is unlocked. However, it has room to grow, and I'm excited to see how this one evolves.


+ Nice sci-fi imagery.
+ Suspenseful audio.
+ Simple controls.
+ A great concept.
+ Plenty of potential.

- It is too short.
- 7 questions is not enough.
- More suspects are needed to add depth and a layer of difficulty.
