Overview

Announcement TrailerAnnouncement Trailer

5,000,000 games on VAPOR, and all but one are clones. From your bedroom PC, screen procedurally generated store pages, stamp each fake on the detail that gives it away, put bots to work, and dig through the haystack for the one original. An incremental hidden object parody.

Read the full disclosureQuoted from the Steam store page

VAPOR, the fake store inside the game, shows pictures made with generative AI: the painted backgrounds of the clone covers, the capsules of its invented games and its screenshots. The game's code, text, music and icons, and this store page, were written with the help of an AI assistant. Nothing is generated by AI while you play: the five million store pages come from the game's own code.
