Jī Yì

Jī Yì is a text adventure set in a world where robots have blurred the boundary between humans and machines. You play a third-class cartoonist who, after being rejected for drawing robots inaccurately, buys an unidentified maid robot as a reference for a comic. Your choices shape how you interact with her and lead to different outcomes.

A society shaped by robots

Bionics created by a new technological revolution have intelligence on par with humans. Their low cost and high efficiency have brought them into more industries and driven economic development, but the spread of robots has also left many people unemployed and contributed to frequent robot-related crimes. Public excitement has given way to fear and uncertainty, while the ethical order built around traditional human society has collapsed.

The government responds with the Robot Management Act, electronic collars to monitor and manage robots, and an AI supervision department. These measures struggle against pressure from robot manufacturing companies, as robots are pushed to the forefront of society.
