Clickbait’s AI Bart Simpson Mario Mashup RantCPU Takes on the World in New Steam Release

Welcome to the world of Clickbait, a world where humanity has destroyed itself and left behind one mischievous chatbot who makes sure to point out that no one is safe. Clickbait is an all-new original transmedia IP developed by Lithos, which is powered by the talented team of Michael Mumbauer (The Last of Us, Uncharted), Adam Clegg (H1Z1), comedian Joe Machi (Last Comic Standing), former TMZ news personality Gary Trock, AI Influencer Elliot Quartz, cartoonist and painter Court Jones, and writer Ken Kristensen (Echo, Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth). Fans can experience this newly created world right now on Steam, which is also where they’ll discover the delightful Chatbot RantCPU and a collection of No One is Safe Trading Cards, and you can check out the new trailer in the video below.

Who is RantCPU?

Clickbait is described as the world’s quirkiest clicking game, and as you can see in the trailer, chatbot RantCPU will lead players through this world as they attempt to build out their No One Is Safe card collection, which features parodies of celebrities, athletes, and politicians. Rant is the world’s first AI video game mascot, and through his perspective, Lithos hopes to shift some perceptions of AI with RantCPU, moving from the menacing stigmas attached to something more humorous and lovable.

“Clickbait showcases Liithos’ nimbleness and commitment to delivering fresh, engaging content as well as its willingness to experiment as the gaming landscape evolves – all in an effort to create memorable experiences that resonate with today’s audience,” said Mumbauer.

RantCPU has a rather limited understanding of the world, as it’s never experienced this firsthand, and as a result, Rant gets a lot of things wrong. That said, he’s still a force to be reckoned with, and he at least promises to be entertaining all the way through.

“RantCPU embodies a blend of Clippy, Bart Simpson, and Mario-a wise-cracking, imaginative internet troll,” said Mumbauer. “We firmly believe that humor, memes, and laughter are vital to engaging today’s gamers and creating a conversation around the gaming experience. When all is said and done, we hope to make RantCPU a cultural icon through humor and satire, offering a unique perspective on AI and gaming in an uncertain world.”
