The makers of 1000xRESIST just unveiled Prove you’re human, and it’s giving very prescient banger

Sunset Visitor, the indie dev studio behind 1000XRESIST, one of the most spectacular sleeper hits of the past few years, has just revealed Prove You’re Human, a sci-fi adventure where players are tasked with “putting an AI in its place.” Can you think of a better premise these days?

One of 1000xRESIST‘s biggest strengths is its commitment to presenting original narratives in a unique way, resisting the temptations of more realistic AAA approaches. The bold stance and sublime execution earned 1000xResist popular acclaim and a Peabody Award for its immersive narrative, and Prove You’re Human seems to want to take things even further.

In Prove You’re Human, we play as a copy of a human consciousness tasked with testing an AI that believes itself to be human. The gameplay seems to mainly take place in first-person perspective, and dares to have players answer captcha-like riddles. Chances are you hate those things, but if you know Sunset Visitor, you also know they wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t have an ace up their sleeve.

The game’s usage of regular 3D environments combined with live-action footage—maybe in an attempt to better help convey the memories or feelings that make one human, or to make telling truth from fiction even more complicated. The mixed aesthetics grant the game a beautiful but uneasy feel, like a wild dream or hallucination. While I can’t really point to any clear inspiration for the AI character besides the obvious GlaDOS from the Portal series, the whole vibe of the game reminds me a lot of LSD Dream Emulator for the PS1.

Gameplay details are scarce at this point, but should Prove You’re Human play out anything like the studio’s previous title, players should expect a wide variety of twists and turns along the way.

1000xRESIST was an unprecedented experience that felt both new and highly reminiscent of the original PS1 era, where diverging from the beaten commercial path was a much more common occurrence. With Prove You’re Human, Sunset Visitor seems to remain heavily faithful to their vision, and that’s why it has immediately become one of my most wanted games.

Prove You’re Human has no confirmed release date just yet, but you can get 1000xRESIST for a more-than-reasonable price for PC on Steam while we wait.

Your journey from Finland to Russia in Road to Vostok doesn’t need to be a lonely march, and that can be ensured by finding a cat on the fourth day of your adventure. If you manage to survive the first three days, you’ll be tasked with finding a missing cat.

Let’s look at how you can rescue it and add it as your beloved companion.

How to complete the Missing Cat event in Road to Vostok

You have to survive the first three days, and you will be able to accept the quest. The cat can be found in the Outpost area, but for that, you’ll need to prepare carefully. The quest requires you to travel from the Village to the School, and then to the Outpost, and then again return via the same route. Since you’ll lose hydration and energy at all levels, you’ll need water and food.

Stick to the right side of the map, go past the lake, and you’ll find a road. Stick to the road, head right, and you’ll find the Transfer sign that takes you to the School area. Once you’re at the School, walk near the cover that will lead you to the bridge. This is a straight route, but there will be enemies around.

Reach the end of the bridge, and you’ll reach the Outpost area. The Outpost is extremely dangerous since it’s an open area, and you can get shot. There are three bunkers at this location: the first one is immediately on the right of the spawn point. The second one will be to the left of the Red Farmhouse. Finally, the third one is to the right of the Red Farmhouse.

Once again, keep to your right, and you’ll come across a small hill. There’s an entrance to an underground bunker that will lead you to the cat. Go inside a room on your left, and you’ll find a small well (look for the entrance hidden by wooden planks). You’ll find the black cat in a cardboard box. Interact with the well to rescue the cat.

The exact location of the cat could differ on your save. It can spawn in any of the three bunkers at the Outpost location. Once you rescue the cat, head back via the same route that you came from. Don’t die along the way, as you’ll need to restart the entire process.
