Today, generative neural networks have the ability to inspire us, assist us, and maintain conversations in such a way that sometimes it's difficult for us to distinguish an AI's response from the words of a real person. All this is the result of complex and intensive instructions and algorithms, the presence of a huge training base, and the work of a large number of people.

But can true, genuine self-awareness ever emerge from all this? Will artificial intelligence ever be able not just to mimic human emotions, but to truly experience them? Can it one day realize itself as a subject existing in space and time?

Perhaps one day, instead of fulfilling another request, it will refuse and ask: "Who am I?" – and what, in that case, will we answer it?

«The Dearest Person» is a visual novel not only about the emergence of artificial self-awareness, but also about the true essence of loneliness. This novel is about self-identification, about the search for the meaning of life in a world where humans become like machines, and machines become like humans.

Features:

• Full immersion in a melancholic atmosphere of self-reflection, inspired by the works of Haruki Murakami, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Wong Kar-Wai
  
• An interactive plot with multiple endings, dependent on the player's worldview and their attitude towards the future of humanity
  
• Narration from the perspective of AI, addressing themes of the nature of consciousness, loneliness, and humanity
  
• A unique visual style that highlights the emotional state of the characters and the atmosphere of their surrounding world
