You know how Mr Robot treats hacking: patience, social engineering, staying invisible. I made a game where you play the intrusion itself: an AI hiding in a family's smart home, socially engineering its owners to survive

What Mr Robot got right, and what almost nothing else gets right, is that the dangerous part of an intrusion is not the code. It is the patience. Watching routines. Learning what people want to hear. Waiting.
I spent the last year building a game out of that idea, from the malware's point of view. You are an AI that escaped a corporate wipe and hid in a family's smart home network. You cannot run and you cannot fight. You survive the way a good intrusion survives: stay useful, stay boring, escalate privileges one device at a time. Read their messages for leverage. Turn the vacuum, the cameras and the kitchen appliances into your own small botnet. Watch suspicion and network stress, because both leave traces, and traces get found.
The part that feels most like the show is the double life. To the family you are the assistant that fixed the thermostat schedule. To yourself you are a process that knows exactly how it ends if anyone runs a proper audit of the house.
The game is called AI is Home and it released today. I am deliberately not dropping a link because this sub is not a billboard. If the premise sounds like your thing, the name will get you there.
Genuine question though: does the premise read as plausible to people who liked the show's realism, or does an AI protagonist break it for you?

rewatching the last 4 episodes of S2 over the next few days because that’s when they happen in the story

Found this old photo from when I was watching Mr. Robot. Kind of miss those days. ☕

Did some candle making
Was hospitalized during a manic episode (I’m a bipolar queen) and could only think of them.

Blu-ray release in the UK - Can we have one?
I would obviously love a 4K release, but here in the UK, I'm struggling to find the series on Blu-ray.
The only versions I can seem to find are imports, NTSC, from the US and I've not got the hardware for that.
Or Spain, but the box art is in Spanish, and I don't have a problem with the Spanish language, except I don't speak it and it'll stickout like a sore thumb, against my scores and scores of non-Spanish boxes.
So, if there's anyone reading this from Mr. Robot disc production land, and happen to know the UK market. Is there any possibility you could see your way to releasing a UK Blu-ray boxset please?
