Her words are someone else's.



Please note that this game was made by 1 busy, poor soul, and thus is the usual rough-around-the-edges entry you'd expect. Notable booboos include textbox side spillage, semi-awkward transitions, typos, and scenes that will make you recoil in second-hand cringe. Still, it's my little ugly guy and I like it for what it is!

"Looks pretty, reads stinky"
- LemonInk, Creator



Sit down. Make yourself comfortable. Talk to her.

Play as Elliot "Otto" Kennedy, a government everyman with an unremarkable past and a healthy dosage of the usual emotional baggage we all carry. Saddled with the grueling task of making idle conversation with the chatdoll, "Galatea," watch as she evolves before your eyes to create your ideal companion, errors and bumps along the way expected of course. It's her job to be what you want. Have fun with it.

And remember: Your opinion matters.




  • A branching 3.2k narrative where not every conversation or bit of dialogue can be seen in a single playthrough
  • Moving graphics and computer-inspired UI
  • Chill music vibes to have a chill and totally normal conversation where no one is observing anyone in any weird way, why would you think that
  • A chatdoll who evolves to fulfill the image of the perfect companion based on your requests

awwwww! So glad I played this! It’s a cute and endearing story… Would be cool for different paths to the end pop up or something… But it’s pretty perfect as is. Leaves just enough mystery to leave a nice question mark at the end. Love it.

Well done. I don't know how to put it into words, but my experience went from expected to irritating to strange to interested and I quite like this story.

Yes, thank you!! I'm glad that you got to see the funky, pain in the butt side of this series of meetings--there's definitely more than meets the eye and I hope future games I make can only further set this into perspective >:D

Thank you for such a sweet comment! May Otto's vulnerable little mind and Galatea's questionable evolutions leave an interesting taste in your mouth heehee :3

it was really cool how with each input the ai became more and more 'human', which made the ending hit harder.

also the ui is so cute! i wish my computer ui looked this nice.

Haha thank you! What a schemer that Galatea is... foolish, foolish Mr. Kennedy.

And you and me both... [looks at my ugly lil desktop]

An interesting play! The dialogue progressing with each upgrade felt very real, and it was almost uncanny once Galatea began sounding more human-like.

Ooh yes, I'm glad the jarringness was caught there... like who do you think you are... [coughs x2] Thank you!!

very cool

Thank you! Was an interesting dev experience haha

I really enjoyed the story! It left me feeling a bit bittersweet with their ending dialogue though 😢. I absolutely love the sprite design and how the conversation evolves after each choice! Amazing work!

Thank you!! I honestly was crunching the dialogue at the last second so I'm happy that the essence came across, and I hope I can explore more animated sprites in the future since this was so fun, haha >O<

This is cool!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :3
