The Last Ferry (built from a design doc)

This is one of two builds from an experiment we ran at Arcweave. We wrote one small point-and-click game, then gave it to the same AI (GPT-Astra, on high) twice: once as a design document and once as an Arcweave project.

This version was built from the design document. It needed two rounds of fixes to work. We then updated the document with three changes: a renamed ferryman, a new condition on the exit, and a new character with a third ending. The game is shown exactly as the AI left it after those changes. While applying them, the AI also changed the room layout without being asked.

Every line the player reads was written by a person. The AI wrote the code, the placeholder art and the sound.
