fine print

Your purchase includes access to all current and future content, as well as a pool of Gameplay Credits.

What are Gameplay Credits? In short: you probably won't notice them. They're primarily intended to prevent abuse of the system.

When you play Talk to Me Human, AI and speech services drive the game's characters in real time. This make every play-through unique! It also means it costs us money every time you play.

We didn't want to make this game a subscription service. Instead, you pay a flat price to buy Talk to Me Human. Your purchase includes plenty of Gameplay Credits to play, replay, retry, and mess around with the game. If you end up running out of Gameplay Credits during Early Access, contact us!

your privacy

We don't get your voice audio. Because we never receive the audio of your voice, you don't have to worry about us saving it, guarding it, or selling it (which we wouldn't do anyway). The game only sees the text transcript of what you said. For technical details, and to independently verify this claim, see the Web Speech API.

We don't sell your data or integrate with any third-party cookies. Any third-party cookies that appear are due to defaults from our service providers: YouTube (trailer video), Lemon Squeezy (purchases), Cloudflare (website hosting).
