About This Game

A Companion Who Lives on Your Desktop

Elya is a desktop companion pet game built around everyday interaction. Talk by text or voice, spend time together, and watch your companion remember your conversations and grow into a character that feels personal to you.

Build Your Bond

Your companion has her own personality, mood, voice, knowledge, and long-term memory. She can respond when you reach out, start conversations on her own, and remind you about things that matter.

Make Her Yours

Choose from multiple companion styles, including Live2D, Spine, VRM, GLB, MMD, images, PNG characters, transparent video, Shimeji, and programmable Mini Apps. Import your own compatible files, then switch characters, skins, and animations as your collection grows.

Private, Local-First AI

Elya includes local conversation, speech recognition, long-term memory, and knowledge retrieval. No account or API key is required for the bundled local experience, and you can optionally connect compatible local or online AI and voice services.

Create and Share

Discover community-made characters, skins, animations, character minds, and knowledge packs through Steam Workshop. Publish your own creations, or use the Mini App runtime and development guides to build interactive desktop experiences.

Recommended Hardware

A dedicated GPU with approximately 6 GB or more VRAM is recommended for the bundled local model. Systems with less VRAM can use a compatible cloud service instead.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Elya uses generative AI for optional real-time character conversations and synthesized speech. AI-assisted tools were also used to prepare portions of the store localization and selected marketing artwork. The game includes bundled local models, and users may optionally connect compatible third-party AI services or configure their own providers. Live-generated content is based on user input and character settings.
