Kim Yong-ha, who heads the division, said the concept is \u0026#34;otherworld homestay\u0026#34;: peaceful days spent with beautiful girls in another world. Play moves between Tasogare-kan, the base where you talk with the girls, and battle, then returns to Tasogare-kan. Communication is the emphasis. Voice recognition lets you call a girl by name and choose responses with your voice, which Kim said he introduced to cut down on game-like interfaces and make the game feel real. He added that the response exceeded expectations and that he wants to expand it. The main scenario still gets proper effort, he said, since relationship progression loses its point without a large story.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Fareidolia's voice recognition lets players call characters by name out loud, which pushes the Tasogare-kan homestay loop into a microphone problem: intimacy built on saying a name, not clicking one.","twitterPost":"Fareidolia's voice recognition makes the homestay loop a microphone problem: intimacy built on saying a name, not clicking one.","threadsPost":"Fareidolia's voice recognition lets players call characters by name out loud and pick options aloud, which turns the Tasogare-kan homestay loop into a microphone problem.
