In I, Fortune Teller you play as a sentient AI who is also a witch. iFortuneTeller would like to escape her job as a low-rent automated Tarot reader, but to do so  she will need to learn how to possess the body of one of her customers.

The experience of interpreting the occult is very similar to the experience of interpreting the output from neural networks, which is part of why iFortuneTeller's second sight is so keen. Most of the fortunes for the game's Tarot readings were generated by GPT-2 and then edited by me, the author.  GPT-2, who might be a distant cousin of iFortuneTeller, is a neural network that writes text by predicting one word at a time.

The creators of GPT-2 are OpenAI. You can access GPT-2 easily via talktotransformer.com.

All of the music in this game was lovingly hand-crafted.

Many, many thanks to:
