Whispers From The Star Closed Beta: Coming Soon

An AI-Driven Sci-Fi Game

Whispers From The Star plunges players into the story of Stella, an astrophysics student crash-landed on the alien planet Gaia. Isolated and alone, her only connection to the outside world is her communicator—and you. As Stella's guide, you'll navigate her journey through text, voice, and video messages, shaping her experience.

Gameplay centers around engaging in dynamic conversations with Stella. The developers aim to revolutionize interactive storytelling, moving beyond traditional dialogue trees. AI-enhanced dialogue promises open-ended conversations that are fluid, personal, and immersive.

This innovative approach has generated both excitement and concern. While many anticipate personalized gameplay, the AI-driven interactions have sparked discussions about the emotional impact of AI relationships and the potential impact on human actors, particularly in light of the current SAG-AFTRA strike.

Anuttacon has announced a closed beta test for Whispers From The Star, exclusively for select US players. While a specific date and time haven't been revealed, interested players with an iPhone 12 or later can sign up on the developer's website. Please note: Android devices and iPads are not currently supported.
