“In The Cycle” is an interactive narrative game. Its core inspiration is a reflection on the mutual influence between contemporary technology and humanit’s, as well as a response to the recent controversies caused by the proliferation of generative AI images on social media.
I aim to propose a perspective: technological development is built upon humanity, while at the same time, humanity resists and counterbalances it, causing it to continually collapse— ultimately forming a cycle.

《In The Cycle》是一款互動式劇情敘事遊戲。它的核心出發點，是對當代科技與人性之間相互影響的反思，也是對於前些時間，生成式AI圖像氾濫，在社群上造成爭議的回應。想試圖提出一個觀點：科技發展是建構在人性之上的，同時，人性也會做出抗衡而使其不斷瓦解，最終構成了一個輪迴。

Cycle of the Present
Cycle of the Present
In this era of rapid technological advancement, when everything in life changes too quickly, some people, out of fear, begin to resist and refuse to face technology. At times, we may also unconsciously find ourselves indulging in a sense of nostalgia, using it as a temporary escape from the overwhelming changes of modern life. Yet eventually, we may once again pursue technological progress.
What we often forget, however, is that the origin of all this lies in the multifaceted nature of humanity itself, continually guiding us to re-examine what it is humanity.

我們在這個科技蓬勃發展的時代，當生活中的一切變化太快，部分人會因為害怕開始選擇抵抗，不願面對科技；而我們偶爾也會不自覺重新享受著某些懷舊情懷，而後可能又再重新追求科技的進步。我們可能忘了，其實這些一切科技的源頭都來自於人性的多面向，都在引導我們去重新審視人性。

The game’s world is set in a near future, where advancements in AI personification technology have made the distinction between humans and AI nearly indiscernible. To preserve human subjectivity, society has established the system of the “Reverse Turing Test” (such as CAPTCHAs). All citizens are required to undergo the test.
The main character, Schreber, is an officer tasked with administering these tests. His duty is to determine whether those being tested are “too stable,” thereby identifying if they are in fact AI attempting to replace humans.
As the story unfolds, the daily cycle of testing begins to shift. At the same time, society outside grows increasingly unstable. Schreber himself gradually comes under the scrutiny of the system. Only to discover, in the end, that he is merely one small cog in the wheel of this cycle.

遊戲的世界觀設定在一個不遠的未來，人工智慧擬人技術使人與AI的差異幾乎難以分辨。為了維持人類的主體性，社會設立了「反圖靈測試」(即辨別受測者是否為人的測驗、例如網路驗證碼等)的制度，所有公民都需接受測試。
主角 Schreber 是一名負責執行測試的職員，他被灌輸了 AI 系統的認知，深信自己是一名系統訓練下的智械。他的任務，是判定前來測試的人是否"過於穩定"，從而判定他們是否為試圖取代人類的AI。
劇情推進中，圍繞在測試的日常輪迴，開始產生變化。 與此同時，外部社會開始出現劇烈動盪，Schreber 也開始漸漸成為系統的關注對象。最後會發現他只是推動這個輪迴中的其中一個小齒輪。
