Cicaefus is an experimental AI-project exploring the fragile equilibrium between humanity, nature, and artificial intelligence. Players will explore this world through the multiple perspectives of a cicada, gradually uncovering the truth about it. It is a quiet meditation on how we use technology to reconnect with – or perhaps redefine – the natural world we are slowly losing.
The game was developed as part of the project seminar “Fluffy Glamour Glow” taught by Prof. Thomas Hawranke during the winter semester of 2025/26.
