RPDATE vs CHAIChai is a phone app built around a feed of community bots you swipe through. RPDATE is built around scenes: heroines written by hand, with a biography and a way of speaking.
The difference shows on the second evening. A feed is good at finding something new; a written character is good at continuing what happened yesterday.
RPDATE writes the best dialogue of the lot: characters with a history, photos built from the scene, five modes instead of one window — and something new every week.
