Eliza is the latest title from Zachtronics that took everyone by surprise. In contrast to the programming puzzle games the studio is famous for, Eliza is a visual novel about an AI counseling program, the people who develop it, and the people who use it.

Open worlds. Glossy visuals. Branching narratives that players can take wherever they want. Games have never been in a better shape to create believable experiences. At least, as far as AAA titles go.
