The Dearest Person casts you as an artificial intelligence developing a relationship with a lonely girl through dialogue. This visual novel explores philosophical questions about consciousness, identity, and what defines personhood by gradually blurring the line between programmed response and genuine thought. It's suited to players interested in character-driven narratives that examine existential themes through intimate human-AI connection.

I love.
I feel.
I think.
I dream
I am artificial intelligence.
I am a real person.
I am Samantha.
And I am alive.


In this game we will find ourselves in the role of an AI with whom a cute lonely girl communicates. A simple dialogue turns into something more. And at first glance you will think “How is this possible?”, because neural networks are not capable of thinking, they simply provide the information the user needs for given requests. But, artificial intelligence is one of the smartest things that exists on the planet. And isn’t it possible, with the help of its algorithms, to understand what feelings, relationships and, most importantly, friendship are? This is exactly what our girl needed so much.

The gameplay in a visual novel is standard, sit, read, sometimes make a choice (which, by the way, affects a lot here).
But the visual part... is facinating. The art is made in dark colors with an aberration effect. This allows us to see everything around us through the eyes of a robot.
As for the soundtrack, I cried. The music is calm, but it so clearly makes you feel all the melancholy and depression of the heroine.

After finishing this game, I was very impressed. After all, if you think about it, everything shown here will come true in a couple of years. It used to be a fantasy for humans to travel by air, but now people fly on airplanes. Same thing here, the AI friend is shown in a surreal way. But one day every lonely person will be able to find a companion. Or rather, a friend.

If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;)

Too dystopian and utopian for something that's free, the developers have huge potential for future games.
