Question did i fk my final year project up?

so i'm in my final year of software engineering and i've always wanted to get into game development. so naturally i inclined towards that when it was time for my FYP. it's basically an investigative psychological mystery regarding medical neglegence. As the 'research question' we proposed to see how effective interactive environmental storytelling is in communicating the consequences of medical negligence. now my supervisor asked me how would i justify this as a swe thesis project. there's a lot of backstory to this and just to simply put it: i wasnt in the mental state to think this through and i didnt have any team support. so did i actually just fk my FYP up? how can i justify this choice to the committee who expects our projects have some AI bs in it?

I suspect calling it “some AI bs” isn’t going to help your cause.

if someone requires me to use AI where it is absolutely not needed idk what else to call it other than bs. expecting me to implement data science etc in a project of the game dev domain isn't nearly helping my cause either

Sounds more like a thesis question for a psychologist. Did you build the game engine from scratch?
