Description
The Other Side is a real-time co-op escape game where GPT-6 Astra is your second player. You explore the physical spacecraft while Astra investigates manuals, logs, diagnostics, and remote systems. Neither side has the full picture. Find evidence, steer Astra while it is already working, and combine human observation with Astra’s digital capabilities to escape together.

Could you build this?
Partial A web escape room interface can be built quickly, but real-time synchronous dual-player game logic coordinating a live multimodal AI agent acting autonomously in parallel requires non-trivial game networking and state streaming.
What it would actually take: The system needs a real-time multiplayer backend (e.g., WebSockets via PartyKit, LiveKit, or Elixir Phoenix Channels) synchronizing room state between the human client and an autonomous LLM agent worker. The hard part is managing agent latency, context injection, interruptibility, and deterministic puzzle state validation so the AI player reliably acts as an interactive partner rather than a slow, disjointed chatbot.
