so, basically there's nowhere in the store page information about in-game shop, which in this case is to buy tokens to use, they give you 100 free per day, with stuff like making a story-mode paper 10 tokens, voice additional 20 tokens. tried twice to make it work, voice doesn't generate, first with a bit longer document, second with a one page document. third try, let's go back to the long one, only text (which, in the first try, generated like pretty fast), oh, seems like it have to generate the document again, there goes another 10 tokens. after finally getting the document ready, and starting the "story-mode", yeah no, this is just parsing text from the document, sometimes (rarely) adding a bit of flavour text, and doing you questions about, literally the last sentence you've read (and you have in screen still). additionally, music is repetitive, there's only four options, after 10 minutes i was really tired of the same song on loop. i really don't see any appeal on this one, and i don't trust it enough to put there an api key to my services, nor trust how much can it consume from them, this smells like a project you can vibecode by yourself in a week if you really feel like doing something similar for yourself and put there some voicevox to have TTS without spending money.

Put in a paper from MIT about Quantum Mechanics Basics as a joke and left with a decent grasp at the concept, so this is genuinely a good study buddy.

My experience: > My objective: Acquire a story about sodium azide using a locally hosted LLM. I downloaded a msds from fishersci, and I have my koboldcpp server up and running. If the game can give me one, I will give a thumbs up. > The settings don't have KoboldCPP. I just have OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, and LM Studio. Let's do OpenAI. > API endpoint is easy. localhost 5001. Done. > Model? But I already have my model loaded. I guess I'll just tell it the gemma 4 thing I have loaded. > Obviously localhost needs no key. Check model response, I guess? > I got something in Chinese back. Is that intentional? I'll try it again. > Same response. My LLM is saying "模型连接测试成功。". Oh! "Model connection test successful!" That should be in English, dev. > Okay. I think I'm doing fine. Uh...Start? > "Detected a scanned/image-based document. Using cloud parsing." > No, game. Don't do that. The images have a bunch of symbols like the skull and crossbones symbol, which is science speak for DEATH INCOMING. > Why can't I turn this cloud parse off? > I think I need a better msds. Thanks, zebrafish. > Okay. This one definitely doesn't have any pictures. > Good, the stupid "using cloud parsing" thing is gone now. Uhhh...let's proceed. > Sure. Let's go to the library. > Oh God. It needs to generate a new model too at 98%? This is gonna take forever. > Oh...my koboldcpp window is doing something. > "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again. If the issue persists, check your network or API settings." > I'll do it one more time. Then you're getting a thumbs down, game. > Second time is also a failure. I translate the error message this time. "Error message: The thesis outline was not generated completely. Please regenerate it." > One more attempt. I'll boost the token size from 2048 to 8192. If it doesn't work this time, I'm done. > This shows promise. It's talking about 6144 tokens rather than the expected 8192. Maybe something different will happen this time? > Oh God, it actually worked. Hell yeah! > Of course, the anime girl has a name with Chinese symbols. > I spoke too soon. The game has another error about "Background generation failed before validated publication" after around 10 seconds. > JFC. Well, it looks like I have an autosave when the VN was up. What happens if I reload it? > It seems to be working stable now. You just saved yourself from a thumbs down, dev. > "Contact with acids liberates very toxic and explosive hydrazoic acid gas. It also reacts with metals like lead and copper to form highly explosive compounds." > Hell yeah. Now this is the stuff I paid for. > Uhhhh...that was it? That was barely 8 lines. > Okay, the game technically gave me a VN about sodium azide, I guess. I'm going to give it the one with images in it to see how the cloud one does. > Wait. It's still using my local LLM? Good news for me, I guess. > Never mind. That one failed too. How the hell are people getting this game to actually run properly? > How about this? Change "OpenAI Compatible" to "LM Studio". > Sigh. I give up. I'm probably never going to play this again since its generation ability is pure crap, so let's see how the generation with trial points does. > The girl still has a name with Chinese characters. Wonderful. > Of course the game still screws up even when its using the cloud model it recommends. It isn't smart enough to detect '\n'? > I gotta say. The AI girl driven by my local model had more personality than this loser. > "The cumulative effect is why the label reads 'Danger' rather than a milder warning; the consequences of repeated contact are severe and permanent." Repeated? There is no repeat contact from chugging NaN3. > Oh no. The game doesn't understand syntax. Lots of 17extdegreeC here. > "Notice how the decomposition temperature is explicitly tied to the melting point. This means the compounds breaks down chemically almost immediately after losing its solid crystalline structure". That i…
