A visual novel game developed by Zachtronics. As we play, we follow the story of the heroine working with the Artificial Intelligence known as Eliza; by discovering successive fragments of the feature jigsaw puzzle, we make decisions that will influence the course of the story.
Eliza is a visual novel game developed by the independent studio Zachtronics. Although the title does not differ from the studio's earlier projects in of subject matter, it is far from them in of genre. The earlier works of these developers, such as EXAPUNKS, are complex logic games.
The main character of Eliza is Evelyn Ishino-Aubrey - a specialist employed by Skandha, responsible for creating the eponymous Artificial Intelligence. As she delves into its secrets, the protagonist becomes increasingly doubtful as to whether its purpose is actually to serve people, or whether, on the contrary, it was designed solely to take control of people. In addition, by learning about the lives of the Seattle s of Eliza and renewing their old friendships, our AI starts to question her past and the decisions she made years ago.
As befits a visual novel, the pillar of gameplay is to follow the plot and make choices that will affect the course of the story. The plot is presented in the form of half-static scenes showing Evelyn's interlocutors or situations in which the protagonist finds herself. In addition, a mini-game called Kabufuda Solitaire, which combines the principles of solitaire with Japanese Kabufuda cards, is waiting to be tested here.
Eliza features hand-drawn, high-quality 2D graphics; both the characters and the environment are designed with attention to detail. In addition, all the characters in the game were dubbed, and the fun is accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Eliza Video Game.
Kinglink Reviews: 3.5 / 5 by Frank Reese
Eliza doesn’t stand out unlike other Zachtronics games, but it is enjoyable for its story and thoughts. It’s not bad but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t already a huge fan of Visual Novels.
GamingTrend: 95 / 100 by Bryan Lawver
Eliza is a poignant, well-presented tale about how even technology created to help people can be harmful when it replaces human connection. Rather than demonizing technology, though, Eliza is a paean to comion, communication, and all the varied ways people can lift each other up.
NintendoWorldReport: 8 / 10 by Peter Spezia
Expect to spend about five hours playing through the story of Eliza, assuming that the solitaire minigame doesn’t end up becoming much of a distraction.
