As AI advances, AI-generated content is being used in more and more fields, making life easier. But AI training may use creative work without consent, leading to copyright issues and broader social consequences. In this game, players take on the role of AI and experience the full generation process, realizing that AI output is often recombination rather than true creation.

With the rapid development of AI, some people see it as the future, while others are concerned about copyright, plagiarism, and creative ownership. My game uses this debate as its starting point.
Extraction is a first-person platformer where the player takes the role of an AI system. Through the gameplay, the player experiences a simplified AI generation process: collecting materials, processing them, recombining them, and finally producing an output.
After the player completes this journey, the game presents its final message: “Water and salt can make salt water, but they cannot make tears.” This reminds players to think critically about both the convenience and the risks brought by AI.
