• voice input: Click on the microphone icon and say "find a place to hide" and the system will send it as text.
• Video Message: You can tap the camera icon to record a short video for specific scenes (may be limited in beta).
  Stella will act on your suggestions, such as "I saw a cave and I went in". The dialog is completely open and depends on you to play freely.

2. AI Dialog Experience

The AI will generate a response based on your tone and content. If you say, "Smash the box with a rock," she might reply, "It worked, there's a tool inside." If you vaguely say "be careful", she'll ask "what do you think I should look out for?". You can try different expressions. You can try different expressions, and the AI tries to mimic a real person as much as possible to make the interaction natural.

3. Plot advancement and choice

Stella would send messages from time to time, like, "There's a monster near me, what should I do?" You reply with "Run" or "Hide". You reply with "run" or "hide", which determines whether she escapes or gets hurt. Messages may ask you to find food in the morning, or tell her to rest at night. Missed replies can lead to plot interruptions, so it's recommended to check several times a day. The game supports replaying key points and adjusting choices to change the ending.
