this game has a creative way of interacting with the narrative, but in the end, the narrative itself just isn't that compelling.

A cute game about an AI who you teach to make a "perfect world." These worlds are randomly generated and change based on feedback you give. It's a cool idea with a heartwarming little story about an AI companion. Some of the worlds I was spawned in an inescapable hole and others are ridiculously bland to look at, but it's a fun distraction to toy with for a few minutes.

The actual generated landscapes are a cute novelty which the author acknowledges in-game were more useful for his own development as a programmer than as fun for a player. But I get the sense he pushed this out the door still under the impression the world creation was the core of the game.

It's not. The characters he made to introduce it are. The idea of a random procedural-generation algorithm and a not-so-random generation algorithm having personalities and conversations is really really clever and I wish there was more substance to explore that here. Hey dev man, make a sequel! Show Bit and Bot some love!

Oh jeez Adventure for a *BIT* I JUST got that.
