Under the Kemet Sky

Editorial Don't bother

Under the Kemet Sky is a brief, AI-generated visual novel set in ancient Egypt with Cleopatra as the protagonist. The game's core creative weaknesses are severe and pervasive: the writing is poorly translated (apparently from Spanish), the AI art is inconsistent and often broken (characters with extra fingers, mismatched features across scenes, anatomically nonsensical details), the historical accuracy is spotty at best, and the narrative feels thin and rushed. Most damning, the game is essentially unplayable—the gray text is illegible against dark backgrounds, the aspect ratio distorts images on standard 16:9 displays, and the entire experience lasts only a few minutes. Community consensus is harsh: reviewers see this as a low-effort cash grab ($4 for a "v1.0" that feels like a v0.01 prototype) that uses AI as an excuse for minimal work rather than as a tool to enhance genuine creative effort. A handful of reviewers defend AI as a medium in principle, but even they acknowledge this particular game showcases poor execution, not principled artistic choice.
