Sunset Visitor Unveils 'Prove You’re Human,' a First-Person Adventure About Convincing an AI It’s Not Human

The debut project for Black Tabby Publishing signals a developer-first push to fund narrative indies.

Overview

  • Prove You’re Human, revealed Thursday at the Triple‑i Initiative, is in development for Windows PC with a trailer out, Steam wishlists live, and no release date yet.
  • Players act as a digital copy hired to test an AI named Mesa who claims to be human, using first-person exploration and CAPTCHA-style tasks to challenge her belief.
  • The game mixes in full‑motion video of the protagonist’s real-world self, with location shoots completed in summer 2025 to capture specific outdoor light in Vancouver.
  • Slay the Princess developer Black Tabby Games has launched Black Tabby Publishing to fully fund and release the title, with simple recoup terms and a ban on generative AI in contracts.
  • Sunset Visitor frames the story as a response to today’s AI surge and labor worries, building on its acclaimed 1000xResist, which won a 2024 Peabody Award.
