Spring Update is live! New Adventure expansion, 7-day login rewards, and limited-time events are now available. Jump in and explore what's new in Bside! Bside is a living world where your characters grow, explore, and stay with you. You don't just play a character here - you create one. Design your character, shape their identity, and send them into a world built for exploration, chaos, creativity, and connection. Across distinct worlds, your character might learn to survive a neon metropolis, get lost in withering woods, or step into places never meant to be explored. Every choice you make - how you look, where you go, what you collect - defines who your character becomes. At its core, Bside is about self-expression and discovery. Whether you're here to customize endlessly, chase hidden lore, flex your collection, or simply exist alongside other players, there's always something unfolding around you. Whether you're a lone wolf or thrive in communities, there's a path here that's uniquely yours. *All our fixed UI and in-game items are created by our in-house art team, AI is used to personalize your experience with your character. Our character system adapts to your input - shaping your character's behavior and experiences as they explore the world. Your input will never be used to train AI model. Core function: 1. Your Character Has a Life of Its Own - Your character explores, posts, and reacts - even when you're offline - Follow their daily updates through a live feed - Chat with your character and watch their personality evolve 2. Customise Your Character - High-freedom face & body customization - Stylized outfits and accessories - A character with soul that grows with you 3. Single / Multiplayer Character Adventures - Team up with friends' characters in shared worlds - Idle adventures with crafted stories - Bring back surprise items from each journey - Adventure results saved as mini comic scenes 4. Playground - Create & Share Your Own Adventures - Design your own adventure scenarios - Write the core storyline and let AI expand the details - Share your stories and explore creations from other players ------ Also includes: - New outfits and cosmetics - Improved stability and bug fixes - Ongoing updates as the world of Bside evolves - Now supporting multiple languages, making Bside accessible to players around the world Privacy Policy: https://bside.zone/privacy-policy Terms & Conditions: https://bside.zone/terms-of-service-and-license-agreement Follow Us on Social Media: Discord: https://discord.com/invite/bsidecommunity Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bside_zone Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Bside_zone Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bside.zone X: https://x.com/Bside_zone Official Website: https://bside.zone

Awesome sauce

This is a very cool, fresh concept. I love the animation and the art style. I do however, have some critiques of the game. I wish for the pronouns, you could choose them more deliberately rather than writing them out, and so that when things about the character get written by the game it doesn't constantly say he/him, she/her, or they/them in pink everytime they do an action or an action occurs to them. The gacha system is quite slow, with lots of time needing to be put in for at least a standard 1 pull. There isn't too much to do, which I can understand as this game released very recently, but I still wish there was more to it than just adventures and playgrounds. The AI...well, what can I say. I'm not its biggest hater, and this is much better than the bigwig AI's that drain water and electricity from vulnerable locations and harm people across the world. This is all excusable, I think, and will be blurred out as more time passes since the game's launch. Not ever start is perfect. BUT...one thing I do really want, is multiple oc's. Add that, and I assure you, you will BOOM. And please let them interact with each other. This game would thrive even more.

Great, but needs fixing

I started playing recently, and honestly the game is so fun. The gacha being for clothes is also a really smart and unique idea. The game looks great and the ai responses are pretty solid. I’m not a big fan of AI, but it also doesn’t seem to do much harm either, besides the water pollution associated with it. I don’t mind the AI overall.However, I encountered a bug where scenes just won’t load, and it’s so bad that I can’t even get past the start menu. I restarted my internet and deleted and redownloaded the app but it still won’t load. This bug is the main reason I’m writing this review. Like I said, great game overall but for right now I can’t even play it.

I downloaded this out of curiosity and honestly? I'm hooked. The whole "your OC has a life of its own" thing actually works - I log in and see they've been exploring, posting, just doing things without me. Feels weirdly like checking in on a friend.Character creator is solid, lots of freedom without being overwhelming. I spent way too long just tweaking small details.The adventures are chill but still rewarding, and I love that you can go solo or drag your friends' OCs along. Playground mode is where it gets really fun - you give a rough idea and the AI builds out the rest. I've already played a few community-made stories and some of them are genuinely creative.

First time playing this game, I found it quite enjoyable and fun! A few features I wish for you to add would maybe be a button or feature where you are able to refresh or restart a chat… sometimes the character gets too out of hand! Another one would maybe be a few more interesting mini-games or things you are able to do besides playground and traveling. Besides all the suggestions, I understand the amount of time added into games, keep up the good work!!! Hope to see more updates and cool stuff! ^o^
