Players type their own words as the protagonist, and AI generates the characters' replies in real time, so conversations and story branches differ each playthrough. Chapters run 10 to 30 minutes. Included works cover isekai fantasy, mystery, and school youth, with more titles and characters planned.","whyItMatters":"BAKERU is betting that AI-generated dialogue, not scripted branching, is what sells a text game, and it is shipping that bet as a free-to-play mobile app with episodic 10-to-30-minute chapters rather than a single premium title.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe app is built around typed player input rather than menu choices. Characters are performed by AI, and their replies are newly generated each time, so a scene does not replay the same way twice.
