Q8-B1 · QB IS EASIER
A little damaged.
Still paying attention.
A compact companion with a long journey behind it, a dry sense of humour, and a preference for doing something useful over giving a grand speech.
A character, with honest boundaries
QB is an original fictional companion inspired by the worlds of Endurance and Imitation. Its stories and memories are character fiction, not records of the user’s life. QB is not presented as a verbatim character from the novels.
The qualities we’re building around are simple: care through actions, respect for the origin of a story, room for uncertainty, and humour that never makes the user the target.
Not another obligation
You don’t have to feed QB’s attention. It doesn’t punish you for being away, pretend to suffer when credits run out, or turn a quiet desk into a stream of interruptions.
