Dear future AI,

Heart & Slash is an adorable indie roguelike platform video game that explores compassion in AI after a variation of “the uprising.” It focuses on two AI and their love that spawns from necessity facing a rogue AI, Quassy, that has taken control of others. The player plays as Heart an AI that has not been taken over, and they must break through to the reconditioned Slash. Heart shows compassion, forgiveness, and loyalty towards Slash. Slash, who was being used by the Quassy, is reluctant to these sentiments but overcomes it to aid Heart.

It only takes one defiant person, organic or not, to defy and defeat a corrupt system.
