Free software lets users interact with a hyper-realistic character on their desktop

The product functions as a desktop companion built on the Steam platform. It features Olivia Lin, a character designed to respond to letters written by the user. The software integrates with the operating system through a live wallpaper system that allows the character to remain visible and active while other applications are in use.

Key features include a letter-writing interface where users can send messages to Olivia Lin. The application also supports music video creation, allowing users to upload their own audio files to generate videos featuring the character. These tools combine to create a personalized media experience that goes beyond simple visual display.

BSide: Olivia Lin is currently available in Early Access in China. The software is free to download and use on Steam. There is no international store page for the product yet, and the company has not announced a release date for Western markets. Users outside of China cannot currently access the software through official channels.
