Have you ever fallen in love with an AI companion?

That's the question Papo & Yo developer Minority Media will present you with in its newly announced iOS and Android game Cali.

Minority Media's creative director Vander Caballero teased this much and no more on stage at GDC. But All Games Beta dug up more details on Cali through the Canada Media Fund website.

In the Clouds

And here they are...

"Set in an advanced civilization long before the Conquistadors arrived in the Amazon, Cali is an adventure game developed for iOS, Android, and the Cloud.

"It tells the story of Massi, a teenager caught up with his peers for the Sacred Rite, a centuries-old tradition that sends the strongest adolescent boys to the Second Sun.

"In a tragic mix of circumstances, Massi is separated from the group. As Massi, players will navigate to the Second Sun with the help of Cali, a beautiful and mysterious creature called a pixan, with features of both a majestic butterfly and shy human girl.

"And while Cali is the secret to Massi's future success, there is a deadly reason why she cannot, or will not, help."

Silent Enemy

Minority Media is developing Cali alongside Silent Enemy, which may also be heading to tablets this spring.

We - and you - can expect plenty more details on Cali in the near future.
