miHoYo founder Cai Haoyu’s AI gaming company released a teaser for its first title,The Liar (2014) Whispers From The Star, on Friday, featuring AI-driven real-time character interactions which enable an open-ended storyline. An experimental project, the game aims to test real-time interaction capabilities powered by multimodal AI, with real-time rendering and a primary focus on mobile platforms, according to the company. In the game, astrophysics student Stella unexpectedly crash-lands on the alien planet GAIA, where the player takes on the role of her sole contact and needs to help her survive and escape. The game interface displays Stella’s heart rate, ambient temperature, and signal strength, while players influence her fate through video, voice, or text interactions. Notably, Stella’s dialogue is AI-generated in real time, with her responses, emotions, and actions dynamically adapting to player input. [Quantum Bit, in Chinese]
