Chronoshift Reality Rewritten

Chronoshift

Mission
A simple joke gone wrong—an AI-generated post meant for laughs spirals into a real-life disaster, derailing your friend’s hopes to be elected to the student council. Your mission? Travel back in time, change the flow of information, and fix the mistake. Can you undo the damage and repair your friendship? You’ll need to track down the AI-generated materials before they cause mayhem for your friends!
Background
ChronoShift invites players to reflect on the unintended consequences of using AI “just for fun.” Research suggests that many young people do not fully consider the potential harm of manipulating images or videos with generative AI tools -especially when framed as a harmless prank. As these tools make such actions effortless, the game challenges players to think about how digital jokes can produce real-world impacts. Set around a student election – a familiar and relatable context – ChronoShift also encourages players to draw connections to wider democratic processes, including national elections.
