A microdrama you can take part in
A microdrama puts a strong situation on screen quickly: a betrayal, a confrontation, a secret that changes a relationship. Our collaboration with Hy-Nomas explores what happens when a viewer can enter that situation, talk to the characters and explore a different direction for the story.
We shared the demonstration above on November 3, 2026. It is a preview of our interactive roleplay work with Hy-Nomas. The question behind it is simple: what would you do if you were in the room?
What happens in the demo
- Sienna answers a question about the gala face to face, with the conversation visible beneath her live portrait.
- The view moves through the gala to Evelyn. A new conversation opens with her, and she answers in character.
- The player finds Walter holding a folder and asks about the paperwork. His reply hints at information elsewhere in the room.
The clip combines movement through a scene with conversations with the people in it. Its on-screen credits identify the explorable views as generated by Hy-Nomas; the conversation scenes show voice, lip-sync and character replies.
What Hy-Nomas contributes
Hy-Nomas is Hunyuan's interactive world-generation model. Its official project describes generation controlled across multiple turns by text instructions and camera inputs. That makes it a useful model to explore for experiences where a person's input can influence what happens on screen.
The Hy-Nomas team includes Prelulu's interactive microdrama preview in its community showcase. You can read the model's capabilities, implementation and deployment documentation in the official repository linked below.
The story you can play: Before Nine
Before Nine is our playable interactive revenge drama. You take the role of Nora Quinn at her husband's gala. Grant plans to divorce you in front of everyone. He does not know that you own more of his company than he does.
The cast includes Grant, his assistant Sienna, his mother Evelyn, company controller Walter, private equity buyer Julian and fixer Dex. You have a role in a room of people with different motives, and can explore the drama through conversations with them.
Open the story page to meet the cast and read the playing guide. Sign in and choose Start the night to play in your browser. The story offers seven endings, and a night is designed to take about ten minutes, depending on your pace.
Text play and live scenes
Reading, exploring and text conversations in Before Nine are free. Face-to-face scenes with a character's live avatar use credits and depend on an available seat. When a live scene is unavailable, the night can continue in text.
The video above shows the collaboration demo. Before Nine's landing page describes the controls and live-scene availability of the playable experience today. The Hy-Nomas documentation describes model capabilities such as camera control; the playable story has its own controls.
