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.

To be fair, ai summarys and using it as a search engine are two VERY fucking different tasks. Like night and fucking day.

It also doesn't help the ai models in charge of the summaries on most search engines are some of the stupidest lowest quality pieces of shit we have.

A model told to actually do a search properly is functionally no different than if you or I did it. And will actually be able to do the job properly. They are very good at this sorta work load.

You ask it to go though a bunch of summaries then summarize those summaries and do use in like 1 seconds. You of course are getting fucking slop.

You aren't giving it the time or information needed to do the fucking job right. They arnt magic machines they can't do shit instantly.

    Our AI user humans are some of the stupidest lowest quality pieces of shit we have as well.
