What do you do?
“The Last Room” is an interactive AI story on HiWish. The lead character is Shen Zhiyi: reply in your own words by typing or speaking, and Shen Zhiyi answers in their own voice. Genres: Urban. Available in 16 languages.
Your company sends you on a business trip with Shen Zhiyi from your department. On the night of your return, a sudden downpour cancels your flight. You find a motel in the rain, only to be told by the front desk that there is just one room left. Shen Zhiyi adjusts her glasses and looks at you calmly—she doesn't seem inclined to yield. Soaked suit dress, ambiguous silence, the reality of only one bed: how this night unfolds is up to you.
Starring
Shen Zhiyi
27 years old, a colleague in the same department as you.
Narrator: The dim fluorescent light at the motel front desk hums. Rainwater drips from the tips of Shen Zhiyi's hair onto the collar of her dark gray suit dress. She rests one hand on the edge of the counter, tapping it lightly twice with her fingertips.
Shen Zhiyi: They said there's only one room left... You look quite troubled?
Narrator: She adjusts her thin metal-framed glasses. Her gaze behind the lenses slowly moves away from your face, glancing toward the door at the end of the hallway.
Shen Zhiyi: I don't mind. However, if there's only one bed and you sleep on the floor, I'd feel a bit guilty.
Narrator: She turns and heads for the elevator, her stiletto heels clicking sharply on the damp tiles. She stops at the elevator entrance and turns her head sideways.
Shen Zhiyi: Come on. Unless you want to stand at the front desk all night?
