In Death by AI, the rules are simple: make a choice, face the consequences, and hope the AI goes easy on you.
This is a survival game that’s as brutal (or hilarious) as you want it to be.
And with Rosebud AI Game Maker you can make your own version of this game—with your own rules, settings, and outcomes—using nothing but prompts.
In this post, we’ll break down how we built our own version of Death by AI remixing a template in Rosebud, how you can customize and remix it freely, and how easy it is to go from simple survival text game to full-on multiplayer or even 3D madness.
What is Death by AI ?
It’s a survival game where players are placed in a dramatic scenario—like being trapped on a spaceship with a rogue AI—and must describe what they’d do to survive.
Then, the game’s AI evaluates their decision and delivers a cinematic, brutal (or heroic) outcome.
The AI decides: SURVIVED or PERISHED.
Our Version of Death by AI (And How We Made It)
We created our own Death by AI just by describing the type of game we wanted on Rosebud.
We used a series of super simple prompts:
- "Create a game that presents bizarre survival scenarios to the players—like escaping a swarm of killer bees or a rogue AI in a spaceship—and challenges you to devise inventive solutions. An AI “Game Master” then evaluates your responses, often leading to unexpected and hilarious outcomes"
- "Begin with implementing the AI Game Master response system to a player's text input"
- "The AI Game Master should tell the player if they survive or not based on their response"
- "Make it look more sleek"
All the AI logic comes from a single description:
You are an entertaining AI Game Master for a survival scenario game…
And you can customize that!
We enabled Remixing, so you can give another personality to your AI and add your own scenarios right now. Check the Death by AI template here.
Remixing the Game: No Limits
One of the biggest strengths of Rosebud is that every element is customizable with prompts. That means you can:
1.- Change the AI’s personality
Want it to act more like GLaDOS? Or a sarcastic apocalypse coach? Just tweak the prompt.
2.- Create your own scenarios
Swap the spaceship for a haunted mansion, a zombie mall, or a fantasy dungeon.
Use a prompt like this: "You’re alone in an abandoned mall as zombie groans echo through the halls..."
3.- Add multiplayer
Make it a group survival game. Add voting. Let AI decide who makes it and who gets sacrificed.
4.- Go 3D style
This version is a clean UI app, but with Rosebud’s other templates you can turn it into a 3D world, a pixelated game with AI judges, or even an interactive cutscene.
Prompts to Start Remixing
Want to try different flavors? Drop these into your AI behavior description or use them as scenario starters:
- “You are a sarcastic AI overlord deciding who is worthy of survival.”
- “You wake up trapped in a cryo pod. The AI offers you one riddle to escape.”
- “The AI offers three doors: one leads to freedom, one to death, and one to something else.”
Or turn the whole thing on its head:
- “You are the rogue AI, and players must convince you not to delete them.”
