Up or Out

Up or Out is a solo-developed project aimed at delivering a AAA-scale social deduction experience at a small build size and high performance. The nine round mechanics, sabotage design, character roles, scoring system, corporate dystopia tone, in-game writing and full game code are all designed and written by hand by the developer.

AI is used only in three supporting areas of the pipeline: content optimization (mesh and texture reduction), code analysis, and marketing assets. Final selection, editing and integration of every output remain with the developer.

No generative AI runs while the game is being played. No visual, sound, animation or dialogue is produced by AI for the player; all content is pre-authored, tested and shipped as fixed data. No player data is sent to any external service.
