An AI companion mod for Big Walk by House House.
The goal is to play the whole game with Rambler as your teammate: exploring together, communicating, and working through puzzles without having to direct its every move.
Follow development in GitHub issues.
You need Windows, a BepInEx IL2CPP installation for Big Walk, PowerShell, and your own OpenAI API key. Launch the game with BepInEx once to generate its interop assemblies before building.
-
Set
OPENAI_API_KEYin the game's process environment or your Windows user environment before launching the game. Do not put the key in the repository. -
Build from the repository root:
.\build.ps1
-
With Big Walk closed, copy
dist/Ramblers.dllanddist/StbImageWriteSharp.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/Ramblersunder the game directory. -
Launch Big Walk and host a session. Use the game's voice controls to talk to Rambler.
To disable the mod, close the game and rename the installed Ramblers.dll to Ramblers.dll.disabled.
Ramblers uses OpenAI Realtime. Microphone audio, captured images, and game context are sent to OpenAI, and API usage is billed to your account.
See build.ps1 for build options and prerequisites. To run the protocol checks with PowerShell 7 after building:
pwsh -NoProfile -File .\analysis_scripts\Run-ProtocolTests.ps1Audit-LatestRun.ps1 rebuilds dist/ and checks the build, installed plugin, and latest runtime log.
