With the absolute domination of AI, it’s no surprise new limits are being tested for its ability to engage in intelligent conversations in video games. Vaudeville, by Bumblebee Studios, is one such title, taking us back to the early 1900s, when the detective genre was the talk of the town.

I couldn’t return to Hunting Pearl Creek after finishing it, which is just disappointing.

The music is simple, but after listening for an hour or two, it became too annoying to leave on. The sound effects, however, from its beeping and booping as characters talk, the sound of explosions, and the pew pews from the laser guns, were all great.
