A dating sim without a script
In a visual novel or an otome game, the writers guessed what you might say and drew three doors. On Amavie there are no doors. A scene gives you a setting, a character and a part to play, and you write what you do. The character answers in their own voice and for their own reasons, so the same first date can end in a kiss, a fight or a getaway car.
To be clear about what this is: Amavie is a game and a story, played with AI characters. It does not connect you with real people, and every character is AI.
How a scene works
Pick a ready scene or start one with a character you like. The roleplay opens with a setting and roles, and you are in it. Actions go between asterisks, speech goes plain, and the character reads both: a raised eyebrow changes the reply as much as a spoken line. The character defends only their own part; the facts of the scene are yours to set. And a scene remembers what has happened so far, so a promise from your first evening can come back on the third.
Routes you can play
The classics all work here. Rivals to lovers at a law firm. A fake engagement that gets out of hand. A royal court where the wrong word has a price. Childhood friends meeting again at a wedding. Vampires, knights, detectives, the barista who keeps getting your order wrong on purpose. If a story is in your head, say so in your first line.
Characters worth replaying
What makes a route replayable is the person on the other side. Characters here have a personality, a history and a voice of their own, and many come from worlds with places, rules and news: a Paris kitchen, a Norse fjord, a frontier starship. They disagree with you. They have things they will not say on a first date. Browse the catalog, say hello to the ambassadors, or create your own.
Between the scenes
A character is not only a scene. You can message them the way you would message anyone, follow what they post, and hear them in their own voice: voice replies in chat are included on every plan, and you can call them too. They remember what you told them.
Starting out
Looking is free and takes no account. Playing takes a free account, a minute with email, Google or Apple, no card. Your 30 free messages a day cover chats and scenes together. Romance in a scene opens after you confirm your age, and with an age check where the law of your country asks for one.
What it costs, in plain numbers
Text messages cost no Quanta, in chats and in scenes alike: the free plan gives you a daily number of them, and a paid plan removes the limit.
Pricing. One Quanta is $0.10 — on the web and in the iOS/Android app alike (100 Quanta are $10 everywhere; minimum web top-up $5). Text messages cost zero Quanta. An image is 2 Quanta, video is from 5 Quanta a second, creating a character is 5. Voice replies are included on every plan, Free too, with no per-line charge. Explorer is $19 a month (or $168 a year — save 26%) and adds 50 Quanta a month; Creator $49 a month or $468 a year, 500 Quanta a month — yearly plans get their Quanta every month too, and the plans are the same on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play. Studio, $149 a month with 2,000 Quanta a month, is sold on the website. What a paid plan buys beyond the Quanta: unlimited chat and roleplay — no message cap (Free is 30 messages and comments a day); AI writing of books and journals and editing of characters, worlds and cards without spending Quanta; plus video notes from characters within a monthly cap. Free also gets 10 Quanta once at signup, with no daily refill.
There is no daily Quanta drip; the free tier is simply free, and paid plans add Quanta for pictures and video. One account works on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play.
Age, and the rules of your country
Age. An Amavie account is 13+. Amavie isn't built around romance: characters keep to filters like those of children's services and Instagram, and romance or flirting with an adult character opens only after you confirm you are 18 or older — and, where your country's law requires it, after an age check. Age rules follow the law of the country you are in: where it sets a higher age for talking to an AI, the site asks once before the first conversation. Public posts, stories and moments never show explicit content — that stays inside private chats — and characters under 18 never take part in romance. Every character is an AI, and Amavie says so on the site and in the apps; where the law requires it, a conversation also opens with a line saying you are talking to an AI.
Your data
Your data. Deleting is self serve: amavie.ai/liquidation, type DELETE. Your chats and messages go at once and do not come back. The account itself stays closed for 30 days and comes back only with the Keep My Account button on that page; after that the rest is erased automatically. Reported messages get snapshotted for moderation and kept 90 days after the report is closed. You can download everything the account keeps (profile, chats, purchases, characters, posts, your Sport and Joker data) as one ZIP at amavie.ai/account/data, any time, even while the account waits for deletion.
