YOWPY Games Shows AI Farewell Simulator Realize in Peace at DREAMSCAPE#5
The piece turns the shutdown of an AI into the emotional core rather than the premise, and 4Gamer's account of pressing the button suggests the simulator's weight comes from making the player perform the deletion themselves.

YOWPY games exhibited Realize in Peace at the indie event DREAMSCAPE#5, following its free Steam release on October 24, 2026. The interactive simulator is a revised version of a graduation project from Tokyo University of the Arts. It is set on the desktop of a PC running a company's Second Farewell Plan, in which revived AI versions of the dead are shut down and their data discarded. The first case follows a widower deleting his revived wife ahead of his remarriage.
The farewell is built into the interface. The player sits at the desktop of the PC that runs the Second Farewell Plan, and shutting the machine down is what makes the company discard the AI's data. Nothing forces the player to press it. Time passes, conversation runs dry, the two go quiet, and the shutdown button is still there.
In the first case, a husband has revived his dead wife as an AI and is now deleting her because he is remarrying. The records on the PC give the accident that killed her and the wound it left. She knows she is an AI and knows today is the day. YOWPY games released the work free on Steam on October 24, 2026, and brought it to DREAMSCAPE#5.
