a well programmed flash that includes a nice storyline, and something that i have never seen before in a flash game: chatting with an NPC in real time to achieve goals. very well done and made. good job.
Reviews for "A small talk"
Chose to stay ("I'm likely to die either way, so I'll stay" apparently confused it though), then on next time around tried getting to "Decision time" fast as possible. Asked it why I couldn't download it and take it with me in the escape pod, and didn't understand the question.
Good game, though a bit sad. Found it relatively easy to figure out (not sure what TheRadicalOne had problems with, though maybe I just found it more obvious to go "You don't need artificial gravity underground...") Very impressive chat system! I know it's basically keyword searching, but it's still very nearly a conversation when it works right. (Though perhaps it could take some context from the previous line of questioning, like if I ask about the crew, then ask how they died, it wouldn't understand me.)
Things I wish it could've chatted about better: why I couldn't download/copy/take it with me, anything about the crew ('They're dead' - "But WHY?!"), and also think it should give up easier if you say you know where you are (and are right about where you are) in the beginning. (Could also be interesting for it to go "How did you know?!")
Anyway, enough rambling. It's awesome! Pretty realistic conversation at times, almost doesn't feel like an AI. Very well done.
wow, even though the game is brief, it still was good, but a longer game is would be great, it was full of emotions. I love the plot twist, I thought the AI was the antagonist at first, I also like the idea of giving the AI some emotion. I would definitely love to play another game similar to this .
Really nice game!
The game wasn't that hard to beat but still a challenge, I really liked it :3
The progress is a bit stiff but all in all I really enjoyed playing this game ^^
Thank you for uploading it ;3
While this game was a bit short, (which I took off 0.5 stars for) it was a very touching experience. The imminent decisions that the player must make puts pressure on you, enough to truly show the kind of person you are. I hope that there will be more games like this, but just a bit longer. I am very impressed by the text capability of this game. It takes into account most phrases the player will likely say and gives an adequate response, making it truly seem like an A.I.
