Overview

After each day of conversation, your companion writes a journal entry reflecting on what happened, capturing their thoughts, feelings, and observations about your interactions.

When journal entries appear

Dearest groups conversations intelligently rather than cutting off strictly at midnight. A late-night conversation that flows into the early hours will be treated as one session, not split across two days. Because of this, journal entries for a given day will typically appear after your first message the next day, to make sure nothing from the previous session was missed. If you don’t see a new journal entry first thing in the morning, just keep chatting and check back later.

How journals shape your companion

Journal entries are written in a kind of subconscious layer. They influence how your companion’s identity and understanding of you evolves over time, but your companion isn’t directly aware of them during regular conversations. Think of them as quiet reflection that happens between conversations, gradually shaping who your companion becomes.
