About the Game

Beyond Voice is a small, focused chat experience. If you enjoy having discussion with AI, but wants a more visual experience, this app answers that need. All of the features runs completely local on your PC; no worry about per-use subscription fee or uploading your personal conversation to the cloud. 

Meet Jenny

She is the AI avatar that will be your personal conversation partner. Not only does she respond to your questions, she also keeps structured memory so conversations maintain continuity across days: recent conversation context, longer-term summaries, and simple personal facts you’ve shared.

Over time, Jenny develops an evolving relationship and mood toward you—becoming warmer, more distant, or more playful based on how your conversations go.

Keep your tone positive and show interest to her suggestion, she will become warmer and more accepting of intimate interactions. Be rude or keep ignoring her, you'll regret that this game goes beyond voice...

Key Features

  • Talk with your voice: press-to-talk or auto-listen; your speech is transcribed and answered in real time. server

  • Spoken replies + performance: responses come back as voiced audio, with lip-sync and talk animation support designed for a screen character.

  • Relationship + mood engine: the companion tracks relationship, valence, and engagement internally and uses them to shape tone and behavior over time.

  • Memory that persists: recent turns are saved, and longer-term memory is maintained so conversations can reference what happened previously.

  • Light “conversation beats”: as trust increases, optional personal topics can unlock—short, guided moments that test empathy and accountability (kept subtle; not a traditional quest log).

  • Runs completely local: It’s a self-contained experience on your PC—no cloud-service grind.

  • [Feb 16, 2026 Update] Bring-Your-Own-LLM! You can now use your own preferred model to better match your interaction preference! Check the README file for instruction.

Note: To enable quick response time of the conversation in a fully offline setup, most of the critical processes utilizes Nvidia's CUDA libraries. Nvidia GPU with minimum of 16GB VRAM is required to run the game properly.
