An AI-built RPG where a PhD student battles peer reviewers

Following the trend of weird AI-built games, the author used Opus 5.5 (final refining from Fable 5.2) to make a simple RPG about a PhD student facing reviewers and academia. The turn-based combat features attacks like "Missing Related Work" and Rebuttal/Prepare moves. Verdict: not bad, not great either.
