Whispers From The Star Ready for Testing
HoYoverse-Aligned Studio Unveils AI Narrative Experience
Get ready to embark on an interstellar journey as Anuttacon, the indie studio founded by HoYoverse's CEO Cai Haoyu, pulls back the curtain on their ambitious debut project. This sci-fi adventure promises to revolutionize interactive storytelling through cutting-edge AI technology. Following last week's Twitter (X) announcement, eager fans can now sign up for the exclusive closed beta.
Players step into the role of guide for Stella, an astrophysics student stranded on the mysterious planet Gaia. With only her communicator as a lifeline, Stella reaches out across the stars - and it's your responses through text, voice, and video that will shape her survival story in this unconventional narrative experiment.
The developers describe their creation as pushing beyond conventional dialogue systems, leveraging AI to craft organic, branching conversations that evolve based on player input. Early reports from Bleeding Cool News suggest this could represent a major leap forward in player-driven storytelling.
While the technological promise has generated excitement, not all reactions have been positive. Discussions on Reddit reveal growing concerns about the psychological effects of AI relationships and potential industry impacts, particularly following recent labor disputes regarding AI's role in creative fields.
Anuttacon is moving forward with limited beta access for U.S.-based iOS users (iPhone 12 and newer models only). Though specific dates remain unconfirmed, interested participants can register through the official website. Android and iPad compatibility may come in future updates.
