Echoes of Linkon — An AI-Built Sci-Fi Otome Rescue Roleplay

Echoes of Linkon is a live AI otome roleplay on neta: a Wanderer breach traps civilians in Linkon's Old District and three Hunters — Xavier, Zayne and Sylus — each want to get you out first. Free to play in your browser.
Final Product: Echoes of Linkon




A live AI otome rescue built from a single premise — a Wanderer breach opens in Linkon's Old District and three Hunters with three different reasons to get you out first.
Echoes of Linkon opens at the perimeter of a collapsed zone: the street inside has gone quiet in the way that means civilians are still alive and running out of time. Xavier reaches you first and closes his hand around your wrist — half-asleep eyes suddenly awake, protective to the point of recklessness. Behind him Zayne's comm crackles with an extraction timeline he does not intend to share, because the research data in the collapsed lab matters as much as the people. And somewhere in the shadow of the collapsed awning Sylus is already watching, patient and unbothered and entirely unsurprised to find you here — hunting something inside the zone that he will not name.
Every reply you write is answered in character by the live AI cast, and the story remembers what you did. Xavier wants you safe, Zayne wants the evidence before the zone folds, and Sylus wants the truth about the breach — and while the three of them run out of patience with each other you can chase the game's real investigation: what actually triggered the breach? Follow the scorch marks that predate it, the Onychinus tech at its epicentre and Zayne's restricted research logs across four linked locations — the Breach Perimeter, the Old Linkon Apartments, the Collapsed Research Lab and the Abandoned Subway Tunnel — and decide who you trust when the reveal forces the choice.

Game Features
- Live LLM Narrative Direction — the whole adventure was directed live by AI from one premise: the deepseek-flash narrative planner turned a single line about a Wanderer breach into a full cast, a four-location playable zone, a relationship graph and an investigable thread — then wrote and continues to write every narration beat, every in-character line and every branching reply at play time.
- Three Hunters, Three Agendas — Xavier is your longtime partner, protective to the point of recklessness and hostile to Sylus on sight; Zayne is the surgeon who patched you up last mission and now needs the research data out before the building collapses; Sylus is the Onychinus leader whose motives you cannot read. The game tracks all three relationship axes separately, so trust built with one man costs you with another.
- An Investigation You Actually Solve — the main thread asks a real question, not a mood: why did a stable zone suddenly collapse into a Wanderer nest overnight? Clues surface through play — scorch marks that predate the breach by hours, a fragment of Onychinus tech near the epicentre, matching energy signatures in Zayne's restricted files — and each discovery rewrites who the breach was really aimed at.
- Choices That Change the Run — follow Xavier and you prioritise the civilians but may miss the intel; trust Zayne and you uncover the research conspiracy but lose time; confront Sylus and you learn the truth while risking the people you came to save. Try to coordinate all three and you have to navigate conflicting orders, rivalries and egos in real time.
- Real Relationship Tracking — the romance is mechanical, not decorative. A live relationship graph models trust, professional respect and outright tension for every pair in the scene — you and each Hunter, and the Hunters with each other — so a single line of dialogue can shift Xavier's trust, spike his hostility toward Sylus, or make Zayne decide you have stopped being a colleague.
- Portrait-Led Cinematic Scenes — the Hunter portraits and the rain-soaked Linkon scene art sit behind the text like a visual-novel stage, so dialogue lands with a face attached. The whole thing runs full-viewport in the browser with no download and no install, on desktop or phone, and a run can be saved and resumed at any beat.

Production Process Breakdown
From one premise — "a Wanderer breach in Linkon's old district has trapped civilians inside, and three Hunters each have their own reason to get you out first" — Neta Studio wrote the whole world: the refined semi-realistic painterly house style ("value-defined contours, organized shadow planes, warm translucent midtones, small controlled speculars, idol semi-3D painterly"), the three leads Xavier, Zayne and Sylus, their relationship graph and the four-location zone they fight over.
That premise became a playable structure: an opening beat with two branching first moves, a four-location zone (Breach Perimeter, Old Linkon Apartments, Collapsed Research Lab, Abandoned Subway Tunnel), a six-edge relationship graph across trust, respect, tension and open hostility, and the main investigable thread "What triggered the Wanderer breach?" with three clues, four actions, three staged discoveries and a reveal that reframes the entire rescue.
The world generated its own art in-house: three character portraits for the cast — the exact images that became the Hunter sprites — plus cinematic key art of the breach night, the storm-broken Old Linkon district and the rescue perimeter, and a character-free visual-novel interior background for the apartments. Every portrait was then background-removed with BiRefNet into a true transparent cut-out so faces drop cleanly onto the painted scenes.
The adventure shipped as a live runtime, not a recorded script: an LLM narrative director that answers in character, tracks the relationship graph turn by turn and keeps the investigation state, wrapped in a full-viewport visual-novel stage with immersive reading mode, save/load and a session menu. The build was played through the opening beat and each branch in a real browser before release.
The finished roleplay was published to a public share link in one click — instantly playable on desktop and phone, free to start, with no download and no setup. Every portrait, scene and prompt in the world stays reusable, so the whole galactically-romantic setting can be forked and remixed from the same seed.

High above an aging apartment block, a torn rift of violet energy pulses and drips glowing static into heavy rain. Emergency lights sweep a rain-slicked street: metal barricades, yellow caution tape, rescue crews sealing the perimeter, alarms strobing red and blue… Xavier, one hand closed firmly around the protagonist's wrist, silver-white hair plastered wet across his forehead, deep blue eyes half-lidded yet fully alert… Sylus steps out of deep shadow — silver wavy hair, sharp red eyes catching the light, black luxury coat with red satin lining… Composition: wide cinematic 16:9 establishing shot, low angle… Style: refined semi-realistic painterly key art, value-defined contours, organized shadow planes, warm translucent midtones, small controlled speculars, luminous violet and cool night-blue palette… Text: no text, no watermark, no logo, no UI."
"Cinematic key-visual illustration for the adventure 'Echoes of Linkon'. Scene: a storm-broken night in the Old Linkon district.

Each Hunter portrait was then passed through a single-image background-removal pass with BiRefNet, producing true alpha PNGs — 24–31% fully transparent pixels — so the cast drops onto the painted breach scenes with no white box or halo around the hair and collars.
