Oasis is a 2024 video game released by Decart that aims to recreate the 2011 sandbox title Minecraft using only generative artificial intelligence. Development started in 2022 when the AI company Decart partnered with the computer hardware startup Etched. The game became available to players on October 31, 2024.

This AI-powered simulation employs "next-frame prediction" to forecast player movements from keyboard and mouse data, trained on millions of hours of recorded gameplay. Since it relies solely on AI without traditional programming or memory systems, the game frequently produces unexpected environmental and inventory alterations, making it function differently than standard games. Reviewers commented on its absence of audio, poor frame rate, and surreal visual style, although a few found the randomness enjoyable. The project demonstrates possible future applications for artificial intelligence in gaming.
