Why this short matters

AI Psychosis gives an abstract relationship with software physical characters and a retro-futurist setting. Human figures converse with synthetic companions in recurring interiors; proximity, commands and reactions make attachment and control visible as a dramatic situation. Its continuity and dialogue distinguish the complete short from a single character-design test.

The original October 25 release is publicly playable at approximately 2:01 on X, which may display a content notice. The maker’s accompanying character-name joke is kept separate from technical authorship: it does not establish that Claude generated the film. The title is the maker’s fictional framing, not a clinical diagnosis or a factual account of a real person’s health.

The original titled post, current complete player, creator reply and sampled scenes were checked. Optional credits and production details remain unknown; no complete critical review or full dialogue-transcript review is claimed.
