Recently, Anuttacon, a mysterious AI game company founded by Cai Haoyu, the founder of miHoYo, launched its new game, Whispers From The Star. This game, set against a science fiction backdrop, incorporates advanced AI technology to provide players with a unique interactive experience.
Unlike traditional narrative games, Whispers From The Star uses real-time dialogue, allowing player choices to directly impact the game's progression and character destinies. Players take on the role of Stella, a female astrophysics student and the sole survivor on the alien planet GAIA. Players must guide Stella through conversations to help her survive and find a way to escape.
The game's dialogue, emotions, and body language are all generated in real-time by AI. Every player utterance can alter Stella's survival strategy and emotional state. For example, when players verbally guide Stella to evade alien creatures, Stella's heart rate is displayed on the game interface, rising with increasing tension. A cold response, on the other hand, will elicit a look of disappointment from Stella.
Whispers From The Star supports video, voice, and text-based conversations, with all visuals rendered in 100% real-time. The game's closed beta is currently underway, with many participants praising its immersive quality. Some players report feeling like they're conversing with a real person, particularly when offering survival advice to Stella, creating an emotionally engaging experience. One participant even jokingly commented, "I deal with my boss at work, and then I save my AI girlfriend after work – it's a blissful life."
The Anuttacon team revealed that future updates will introduce more environmental interaction mechanics, such as resource gathering and alien exploration, to enrich the game's content. In just over six months since its founding, the team has attracted industry veterans including experts in Microsoft's graphics field and a former Bilibili games executive. The team has grown to approximately 40 people and is currently recruiting AI talent in areas such as pre-training, post-training, Agent development, and video generation.
