The Steam Next Fest demo for interactive fiction game Qualia is over after only a few, uneasy minutes, but it's haunting me more than some full-sized horror games.
Created by solo dev Sydney Brafman, Qualia is a philosophical point-and-click quiz that asks you to evaluate whether two anonymous participants are human by simply rating their answers to questions as "human" or "artificial." Quickly, the demo makes it clear that the human mind isn't so exceptional; it's sometimes unnervingly impossible to distinguish a woman from a robot.
