Code Review Simulator

Code Review Simulator: Godot 4 first-person sim/tycoon prototype

In a world where every service, including the government, has gone open source, can you survive by doing code reviews for cash?

You start in a small apartment reviewing pull requests from an in-world monitor. Read diffs, run checks, gather evidence, and make the final call: approve or deny.

Good reviews earn money and reputation. Bad reviews can let through broken code, hardcoded secrets, prompt injections, dangerous commands, risky dependencies, and eventually real-world fallout.

The long-term fantasy is building a messy physical code-review factory: cheap laptops, custom PCs, servers, routing tools, scripts, scanners, LLM boxes, quarantine machines, power bills, and automation layers that make you faster while creating new failure modes.

Current build has:

• First-person apartment interaction
• Diegetic fake OS / in-world monitor UI
• Manual review, CI, scripts, secret scan, dependency scan, and LLM checks
• Upgrade shop and inventory-backed progression
• Early city and shopping-mart prototype spaces
• Browser, Linux, Windows, and macOS builds

Next focus:

• Polishing the fake OS and core review loop
• Making bad approvals trigger visible world events
• Syncing disasters with in-game TV/news channels
• Cleaner scene transitions
• More world progression: roads, cars, shops, delivery drones, terrain, and authored assets

Assets note: currently using Kenney CC0 assets for many 3D gameplay assets, UI icons/input prompts, and UI audio SFX.
