SQUENCHI offers free software on Steam to experience the AI technology in that "Portopia Serial Murder Case."/Squenching!

SQUARE ENIX has announced that the NLP adventure "SQUARE ENIX AI Tech Preview: THE PORTOPIA SERIAL MURDER CASE" will be available for free as an AI Tech Preview from Square Enix.

The PC adventure game "Portopia Serial Murder Case" (written by Yuji Horii) was released by Enix Corporation in 1983. SQUARE ENIX AI Tech Preview: THE PORTOPIA SERIAL MURDER CASE" is software that allows users to experience "Natural Language Understanding (NLU)," which constitutes "Natural Language Processing (NLP)," one of AI technologies, through this game.

At that time, adventure games were called "command input type," a system in which the player freely inputs a string of characters to determine their actions and advance the story.

While this system gave the player a great deal of freedom, it also had the problem of hampering the playing experience because the player knew what action to take but did not know the appropriate character string.

This was due to the limitations of PC performance and algorithms for natural language at the time. Forty years have passed since then, and with the rapid growth of PC performance, natural language processing has also made great strides.

In the "SQUARE ENIX AI Tech Preview: THE PORTOPIA SERIAL MURDER CASE," you can experience "natural language understanding," which constitutes natural language processing. With the development of the technology, the freedom of the string of characters necessary to advance the scenario has increased dramatically, and this research and development was conducted with the goal of allowing the story to proceed in the player's own words.

Using the famous "Portopia Serial Murder Case" as its subject, the game will be released free of charge on Steam on April 24, 2023 (Monday) as a tech preview to allow players to experience what natural language processing is today, what impact it will have on adventure games, and to deepen their understanding of the technology of natural language processing. The game will be available for free on Steam from April 24, 2023.
