Perfection! I was hoping someone would do this and you did it amazingly. The setting is perfect and creepy. The text to speech is well implemented. And the LLM oh man getting it to run so fast on my old 2070-super, fantastic. You knocked this out of the park and I hope you consider releasing this as a real game or something. It's so good. Perfectly matched the theme too. I love the interrogation tools too. You really made something special here and you should be proud. Also why did it require a web hookup? I thought it was local only, that was kind of odd. The only thing I could see improving was if you found some way to emotionally animate the people like some tag from the LLM that changed their appearance. Also maybe some slightly more expressive artwork. But for a game jam this many levels and this level of detail is wild.

First off, thank you *so much*. Those comments mean a lot to me. Worked very hard and seeing that someone likes it so much made my day! Yes - definitely considering more development. Glad the LLM worked on your 2070-super! That's actually quite a good GPU for this - 9 tflops :D (also good to know it is working w/ CUDA).
Animating the people is also a good recommendation - maybe adding facial expressions and finetuning on sentiments. The artwork was what I could find on opengameart + some AI generation.
To your concerns about the web:
It required a web hookup! Dang it! All the AI models are 100% local - but the issue is I rely on libraries - sometimes those libraries load things from CDNs - and it's *very very very* difficult to track down all the dependencies (I can't just turn off my internet, as they can be stored in the cache). If you could report what was loaded over the web, I could try and track it down and fix it!
