AIPIP is a satirical iOS mobile game about finding the AI imposter in a dysfunctional tech company chat room.
AIPIP is a single-player social deduction game for iOS. Five coworkers sit in a chat room. One is an AI sent to put you on a performance improvement plan. NPCs are powered by Claude — they lie, take credit, and gaslight in real time. Three levels. Free, three plays per day.
AIPIP is a satirical iOS mobile game built solo by The Chinese Dude. Each level drops the player into a chat room with five coworkers at the fictional AIPIP Corp — one has been quietly replaced by an AI sent to put them on a PIP. NPCs are powered by Anthropic's Claude API; they hold persistent personas, lie, take credit, and play office politics. No two matches are the same. Three levels ship at launch: Asshadow (Credit Thief), Andrain (Micromanager), Ashutoxic (Nepotism King), plus three arcade mini-games. Built in Godot 4.6 with a Node/Express + Claude backend. Free to play, three plays per day, no ads.
The person behind the game.
The Chinese Dude
The Chinese Dude is the solo developer, designer, and writer of AIPIP. Built the game for every engineer who has ever watched credit walk out of the room on someone else's slide deck. AIPIP is what justice looks like when an engineer makes it — small, satirical, shipped on iOS, and ten cents per round in API fees. Every Asshadow in your group chat. Every Andrain in your standup. Every Ashutoxic on your skip-level. Now they're characters in a game, and you get to vote.
Pre-written blurbs. Lift freely.
Every tech worker has met an Asshadow. AIPIP is the chat room where you finally get to vote one out.
The NPCs in AIPIP are powered by Claude. They lie, take credit, and gaslight in real time. That part isn't satire.
AIPIP Corp is fictional. The dysfunction is documentary.
Five coworkers. One is an AI. Ten messages to find them. Costs me ten cents per match. Justice has never been this affordable.
