Game link on my site: 39 Games | Control Bob

Control Bob is a comedy game where you control an unpredictable little man using natural language commands. Tell him to open a door, grab a key, avoid a fire, or defeat his enemies.

Simple enough, right?

Wrong.

Bob might misunderstand you. He might do the exact opposite. He might refuse to cooperate entirely, because apparently following basic instructions is beneath him.

Think carefully about what you say. Choose your words wisely. And whatever you do, try not to lose your patience.

The first command you give Bob might be a bit slower, you'll have to wait a bit.

This game integrates was supposed to inregrate an AI LLM directly inside the build as a core gameplay mechanic to interpret player commands, but the LLM was so dog#@t (I had to use a small one for the file size) that I decided to just hard code the answers. No game assets, models, code, animations or other project content were generated using AI tools.

Note: The game may be a bit bigger and tougher on your PC since it has a built-in LLM.


Commands Bob can follow:

  • Go to (location/item)
  • Look at (location/item)
  • Stand up
  • Sit
  • Go (direction)
  • Eat
  • Throw
  • Pick up (item)
  • Punch (target)
  • Open/Close (door)
  • Switch/Pull (a switch)
  • Say (phrase)
  • Restart (type it exactly like this: "restart", it restarts the level)

Valid locations/items:

  • key
  • door
  • trash bag
  • fire
  • through the door
  • enemy
  • center
  • switch 1 to 4
  • mushroom
  • boss

Hints (reveal only if you're stuck):

  • you can also punch the door
  • you need to throw the trash bags into the fire by picking them up, looking at the fire, then throwing
  • good night is a good night for the enemies, beat them up
  • power trip relates to the mushroom, the switches are useless
  • when the boss does the alert sound, you have to move away in any direction to dodge, then once he misses go punch him
