Playing psychotherapist to a troubled AI in 'Syntherapy'
In the visual novel Syntherapy, everyone has a complex: The president of the university, the Clippy-like OS assistant and especially the depressed AI who you've been sent to help. Not to mention the protagonist. Set about 20 years in the future, the game's narrative is told from the vantage point of Melissa Park, a psychotherapist. Out of the blue comes a nervous request from a grad student: the AI that her team built to conduct therapy is now, itself, in need of counseling. The AI, named Willow, feels overwhelmed.
