Vapor World: Over The Mind is a Soulslike Metroidvania with an evocative, painterly art style reminiscent of Lies of P and the narrative platformers of Playdead. According to Korean studio Alive Inc, the game had 100,000 wishlists just before its early access launch on August 19, mostly on the strength of a demo available since January 2025.

But what should have been a triumphant early access launch went pear shaped very quickly. At launch, few talked about the quite distinctive worldbuilding or the parry-heavy combat. Instead, all focus was trained entirely on something absent from the popular demo: very obvious AI use.

    You seem to be describing an answer engine, which isn’t what I said. It’s really no worse than the last five or so years of Google if you just want links to a topic that you can go and read yourself. It’s fine at that, it’s not good.

        To be fair, Gemini is one of the lowest quality pieces of s*** we have. Google also basically gives it no time to do the job.

        They’re not magic machines. They take actual f****** time to do something. So of course it’s going to s*** out worthless garbage if you don’t give it enough information to make something good and no time to do anything.

        Trying to say that AI is a bad search engine based off Gemini. Is like saying that an artist who is never picked up a pen and paper is worse than someone who’s been doing it for 40 years. Therefore all artists are bad.

        It’s f****** nonsensical and ignores the entire actual context of what’s happening.
