Thanks! I’m glad you like that angle. We use the characters’ expressions and picture bubbles to show what they want, whether it’s a specific item or a deeper desire.
Using expressions and bubbles to put "wanting an item" and deeper wishes in the same visual language is pretty clever haha. Players actually have to read the character instead of just hunting for items. By the way, would you be down to try a quick, free web AI RPG? I'm helping ISECAI test how characters react to free-text input. It's an anime academy setting, and I'd love to get a creator's first impression. If you're interested, I'll drop the link and a unique invite code right here. 🎮
Here we go—thanks for being down to try it out! It's still Yiming from ISECAI, just replying from our team's ming101 account this time.

Just enter the code at sign-up. It runs right in your browser for free, no download needed. Since you were curious about how characters handle freeform input, try throwing in your own line or action right at the start. See if their expressions, replies, and the story flow actually make sense together. Playing just a tiny bit and telling me the main thing that stood out to you is plenty haha.
