Choose Your Own Equine Adventure
[ AI exploration ]
This satirical choose-your-own-adventure game, born from equal parts love and frustration with my own journey in equestrian sports, leans into the uncanniness of AI image generation rather than avoiding it. The experience asks seemingly innocent questions before spiraling into increasingly absurd outcomes that feel painfully relatable to anyone who's spent time in the barn, exploring the chaos and unpredictability of horses through interactive storytelling. I used AI tools like Midjourney, Nano Banana, and Veo to generate a dreamlike, painterly aesthetic that mirrors the tone: whimsical and storybook-like on the surface, but with an off-kilter edge that reinforces satire. The fluid, surreal landscapes and impossible colors create a visual language that feels intentionally exaggerated, turning the experience into a darkly funny reflection on everything that can go wrong when horses are involved.
Precise prompting of AI tools helps scale imagery for branching narratives, making the volume of content feasible.
The algorithmic strangeness of AI motion generation amplifies to the absurdity of final scenarios.
