BSide: Olivia Lin is an AI-powered companion simulator developed by miHoYo, the studio behind Genshin Impact. The game launched in late September 2022 across PC, macOS, and Linux platforms. The title represented miHoYo's experimental venture into AI-driven interactive experiences, positioning players in a relationship simulation with a virtual character.
The game's lifespan proved brief. In August 2023, miHoYo announced plans to shut down the game's servers less than a year after release, citing phased planning and future strategic arrangements. The title was set to be delisted from Steam by the end of August, though the developer indicated an offline version would remain available to existing players.
