1000xRESIST was one of the surprise breakout games of 2024, and developer Sunset Visitor is back with a new sci-fi adventure game that seems to be just as existential as its last. Prove You’re Human is coming to Steam and is part of a new publishing partnership with Slay the Princess developer Black Tabby Games.
The title is a reference to the CAPTCHAs you’re often asked to fill out on the internet as a way of…well, proving you’re human. Prove You’re Human follows an AI that believes she’s human, and you must “put her in her place.” It seems like the game will get into a lot of philosophical debates about personhood and whether “copies” of people are just as legitimate as the person who they’re based on. It’s giving a little bit of Apple TV’s incredible series Severance, which also follows “copies” of humans that are essentially made to be workhorses.
Throughout Prove You’re Human, you’ll solve CAPTCHA puzzles that get more and more haunted, marrying its science fiction premise with a psychological horror tone. The game doesn’t have a release date yet, but that means you have plenty of time to go back to 1000xRESIST if you didn’t play it in 2024. It’s available on just about every system now that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions came out last year.
