I created a game called Study Monsters Academy. The objective of the game is to teach a virtual pet/chatbot called the Study Monster everything it knows.

You begin with a Study Monster that doesn't know anything. If you ask it about a particular topic, it will say that it doesn't know anything about it. Your goal is to teach it! If you teach it calculus, the Study Monster will learn calculus. If you teach it about The Great Emu War in Australia, the Study Monster will learn about that too! Once it has learned something, you can have a conversation with it about those things.

What makes the game enjoyable is that the Study Monster will learn exactly what you teach it. If you teach it that Tom Cruise invented calculus while starring in Top Gun, that's what the Study Monster will learn, and then you can have a full conversation about who the perfect wingman is for differentiation!

p.s. There is a paywall after awhile. I value HN feedback so just PM me on discord and I'll set your role to premium.
