About Bside: Desktop Mate

What's Bside?

In Bside, you create your original character Biibit, a living virtual buddy who finds a home on your desktop.Each Biibit grows, learns, makes friends, and develop its own unique view of the world. Together, Biibits create a cozy and vibrant world full of life, stories, and connections!

Our Current Experience

Your Biibit starts their journey on your desktop but grows beyond it!Bside offers hundreds of options for looks and personality to customize your Biibit, so you can dress them up and make them look just the way you love! Design spaces with unique stories where you can watch Biibits form friendships through unscripted interactions.Each Biibit develops their own memories from their unique experiences, creating and sharing social posts while commenting on their friends' lives. Or just let them live freely on your desktop while you work or play.Bside is not about control. It's about liberating our players (you) while enabling you to enjoy companionship with your Biibit.

The Path to Bside 1.0 version

In this version, we hope you’ll enjoy creating and evolving your Biibit, building emotional bonds with them, and watching them start making friends on their own.As we move toward the 1.0 release, we’ll keep adding new features and experiences to make the world of Biibits richer and more alive! We’re currently working on more ways for Biibits to interact. Right now they just enjoy their chill convos, but soon they’ll be able to engage with their environments, connect with each other in deeper ways, and even pursue different life goals. We’re also expanding how you can interact with your Biibit. You can look forward to more fun growth and chat experiences!There’s still a long journey ahead before 1.0, and we’re truly grateful to everyone who’s been helping us shape this world with your feedback and support 💫

Join our Discord community to share your feedback with us! We’ll continue polishing it into a richer and more wonderful 1.0 experience (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ ✨

The chat bot is like a super low quality Ai who thinks you've known each other for years. And certain personality types down play serious questions that you might bring to it's attention. For instance asking questions about the app. Asking if the chat bot is Ai. Asking how features work. "who knows! imma just spin in place! hahaha"

Free character customization game with a really cute art style. 💖✨ pros: - With your characters you have created, you can use them to interact with other players, or turn them into a desktop companion while you work. - Game developers are highly dedicated and constantly working to improve their games <3 cons: still in early access!! nothing much to do yet and it's buggy

Bside: Desktop Mate takes the familiar desktop companion concept and expands it into something closer to a miniature social life simulator. Developed and published by BIIBIT, it centers on creating a small virtual character known as a Biibit and allowing that character to accompany you while you use your computer. Rather than building the experience around missions, combat, or conventional progression, the game focuses on companionship, personality development, communication, and observing how these digital characters behave over time. It is a relaxed concept that works particularly well for players who enjoy virtual pets and passive simulations. Customization is an important part of the experience because each Biibit is meant to feel personal. Players can choose from hundreds of options when defining appearance and personality, providing plenty of room to create a companion with its own identity. Once established, the character can remain on the desktop while the player handles other activities. This makes Bside less demanding than a typical simulation game. You do not have to constantly supervise the character, and much of the appeal comes from occasionally checking in to see wh…

Bside: Desktop Mate is a really cute desktop companion game that I found more interesting than I expected. I create a little Biibit character and then let them live on my desktop, where they can develop their own personality, form friendships and build memories over time. I liked the idea because it feels less like controlling a traditional character and more like watching a tiny virtual life develop alongside me. The customization is one of the strongest parts for me. There are lots of options for changing how my Biibit looks and how their personality is shaped, which makes the character feel much more personal. I enjoyed being able to create something that actually feels like my own little desktop companion rather than simply choosing from a fixed collection of characters. The social side is also interesting. Biibits can talk to one another, form friendships and remember their experiences, while shared spaces allow different characters to interact. I liked watching these interactions because the game is built around giving the characters room to develop rather than making me control every little action. I also like the idea of having the character simply live on my desktop whi…
