Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access lets us build Project Relic together with players. Your feedback will help us refine character interactions, improve voice and assistant features, expand content, and make the experience more stable before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. This timeline may change depending on development progress, player feedback, and the scope of additional features.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version focuses on the core single-character interaction experience. For the full release, we plan to expand the game with several major systems and presentation features, including:
1.Multi-character mode, allowing multiple characters to participate in the same interaction or scenario.
2.Story outline and progression adjustment tools, giving players more control over the general direction and development of longer interactions and scenarios.
3.Limited Live2D-style character presentation, adding more dynamic character movement and visual reactions where appropriate.
4.Music-related character interactions, including features that allow characters to listen to music and, where supported, participate in singing-related interactions.
5.Multiple dialogue text presentation styles.
In addition to these planned features, we will continue improving character behavior, AI interaction quality, voice features, user interface, compatibility, performance, and overall stability throughout Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is playable and already includes the main systems required to create and interact with AI-driven characters.
The current version includes:
1.AI-powered character conversations using supported language model providers.
2.Custom character profiles and character behavior settings.
3.Character state systems that allow conversations and interactions to affect aspects of a character over time.
4.Visual novel-style dialogue presentation.
5.Optional synthesized character voices through supported text-to-speech solutions.
6.Character management and selection features.
The core interaction loop is already functional, but some systems are still experimental or incomplete. Players may encounter bugs, inconsistent AI behavior, UI issues, compatibility problems with certain model or voice configurations, and features that may change substantially during development.
Early Access will primarily be used to expand these systems, improve their reliability, and refine the overall experience based on community feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently plan to keep the price unchanged during Early Access, but the price may increase when the game reaches its full release depending on the amount of additional content and features added during development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively collect feedback from the community through Steam discussions and other community. Player feedback regarding bugs, usability, balancing, feature requests, and the overall experience will be considered throughout development and may help shape future updates.”

About This Game

The story has ended, but there are still so many things left unsaid...

This time, our story will never end.

Project Relic is an AI-powered character interaction and creation app. Define a character’s personality and background, choose the circumstances in which the story begins, and start conversations through text or voice. Character responses come to life through changing sprites, voice, and stage performances, giving every exchange its own rhythm.

Choose AI-generated response options or write your own replies to help shape what happens next.

Meet Your Characters on the Desktop

Read dialogue, listen to character voices, and watch expressions and movements change in a dedicated Stage window. Review past conversations and track relationships and emotional states as they evolve through your interactions, then continue at your own pace.

An Infinite, Intelligent Memory System for Your Shared Experiences

Within the same save, your conversations become long-term memories, along with the scene and emotions from that moment, forming the basis for future conversations. Memories are saved permanently. The system searches for relevant experiences based on the current conversation, prioritizes important promises and relationship changes, and organizes and updates its understanding as new experiences accumulate. Everyday details gradually carry less weight over time, while precious memories remain important for longer. A simple “Do you remember?” can reconnect you with a story left unfinished long ago.

Biomimetic Character States for Emotions That Evolve Naturally

Trust, attachment, respect, and security work alongside stress, confidence, loneliness, happiness, and resentment to shape each character’s responses. A character may still feel attached to you without trusting you again; a kind word may ease the tension of the moment, while repairing a relationship takes more time together. Each state changes at its own pace, continuously influencing tone, initiative, and how much the character is willing to share. Character states fluctuate in the short term and develop over the long term, reflecting the patterns of real human psychology and behavior.

Reunite with the Characters You Hold Dear

Edit a character’s personality, background, speaking style, and opening situation. Import sprites and provide descriptions for different expressions and poses. Configure a compatible voice model and reference audio, then adjust display position, stage effects, and voice parameters.

Whether you are creating an original character, a figure from your own world, or a story that exists only as an idea, you can begin with a single conversation.

From Companionship in a Story to Conversation on Your Desktop

Scene Mode focuses on interaction between characters and the story. Assistant Mode is suited to everyday conversation; when screen recognition is enabled, your character can answer questions using text or images currently visible on your screen.

*The interface currently supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. The conversation display language and character language can be configured separately.

Before You Begin

  • AI conversations require a compatible LLM service configured by the user. This product does not include third-party service credits, and those services may charge separately.

  • Character voices require a compatible voice model and reference audio. The speed of local AI features depends on your hardware, models, and settings.

  • Character and save data are stored locally. When using an external LLM service, conversations and related context are sent to the configured service.

  • Conversations are generated by AI, so their content and memories may contain inaccuracies.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Project Relic uses generative AI to create interactive character dialogue, narrative responses, conversation choices, and session summaries during play. Optional AI speech synthesis voices character dialogue. Responses are generated from player input, character settings, and the current conversation, so each session may differ. AI features depend on the configured models and services.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The mainstream LLM providers currently supported by the application implement certain safety safeguards. However, depending on the selected model and user input, the model may still generate limited amounts of mature content, including mild violence, sexual content, or other adult-oriented material.
