After 25% positive Steam reviews, Soulslike dev realizes people hate AI slop and admits "if it looks like the effort is not there, that is a fair reading of what is on screen"
The director of the Soulslike game Vapor World: Over the Mind has apologized for the heavy reliance on AI-generated cutscenes and voices, which led to overwhelmingly negative Steam reviews. Young Kim admitted that the AI-generated content was a hasty decision due to resource limitations and promised to replace all AI cutscenes with original content by the end of the week. The game's developer, ALIVE Inc., had previously disclosed AI usage but failed to anticipate the strong player backlash.
