Recently, the new AI game "Whispers from the Star" led by MiHoYo co-founder Cai HaoYu has officially launched on Steam and is scheduled to be released on August 15th. A demo version of the game is currently available, but it does not yet support Simplified Chinese.
"Whispers from the Star" is an interactive story game with the theme of "building connections while isolated." In this game, you will become Stella's "only contact," interacting with her through a communicator. The game's setting is highly creative, with your words becoming the key to Stella's survival. The game's dialogue format is open-ended and AI-driven, without traditional dialogue trees.
In the game, you will need to prepare a working microphone to have real-time conversations with Stella. Stella is a member of a research team in the story, and her spaceship crashed on a planet called "Gaia." At this point, Stella is alone on an unfamiliar planet, and you are her only hope. She will communicate with you through video calls, voice messages, or text messages, sharing what she sees and feels and her inner emotions.
Stella's request for help goes beyond survival choices; she wants to share her thoughts and feelings with you. Through this interaction, every word you say will directly affect Stella's actions, even deciding her life or death.
According to the development team, "Whispers from the Star" includes more than 25 story nodes, allowing players to experience rich emotional exchanges and open-ended plot developments. This game is sold as a buy-to-own title at $9.99 and is expected to attract a large player base.
Through this game, the development team hopes to explore the possibilities of human-computer emotional interaction and believes that everyone will be able to have a digital companion in the future, thus gaining emotional connection and a sense of belonging.
