Editorial Meh
AIKO is an AI companion 3D chatbot with minigames and customizable relationship progression, built on a local LLM backend. The creative concept is sound—players enjoy the character model, the freedom from censorship, and the roleplay potential—but the current build is severely undermined by widespread bugs that make normal play difficult. Dialogue frequently breaks into garbage output or fails to parse user input; UI interactions (coffee cup, fridge, chairs) are non-functional or unclear; the AI's personality defaults to antagonistic even with kind traits selected; and voice/chat systems have confusing or missing tutorials. Several players report the game is barely playable without frequent restarts. The developer is actively patching issues and communicating on Discord, which is encouraging, but the paid PC version currently ships in a state too rough for most players to enjoy the underlying design.
