JOBifAI

This the "privacy-first" version of JOBifAI.

It will require you to create your own API keys or run your own AI model to play. If you want a ready-to-play version, you can play it for free on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3248650/JOBifAI/

AI Generated Content Disclosure

Our hero submitted a portfolio generated by an AI, and got a job interview.

After seeing the company's artwork (also AI generated) and the portfolio, the interview starts. Using AI, the interviewer's reaction will be custom, based on the hero's text input.

The game itself; that is, the music, the script, the graphics, have been made by indie human artists.

AI setup/API keys

By default, AI calls are made to Groq since they provide a generous free tier. See this link to create your own keys: https://console.groq.com/keys

If you run local Ollama (or have your own OpenAPI compatible subscription) you can use advanced options to use it.

Image generation on this build uses CloudFlare AI, which also has a generous free tier. Options to use other services would require source changes (the Steam version uses Replicate). See the following link to create your own keys: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/get-started/rest-api/

The Game:

In this short comedic Visual Novel (VN) with branching paths, you need to convince a job interviewer of your artistic ability by typing out your best arguments, using natural language.

With your language skills, you will need to use every clue in the dialogue and the images to win in a battle of wit.

The typical VN formula is enhanced with AI interactions that allow for free-form interactions: describe it with plain words, and see how the game plays it out.

A playthrough should last at most 20 minutes; try to collect all endings and find all secrets!
