The future of AI-driven anime gaming with Spot Zero and Eimi

👉Building the Anime universe

Tarta Labs is a next-gen entertainment company at the forefront of anime, gaming, and advanced AI innovation. Tarta Labs is an emerging ACG (anime, comics, games) powerhouse, building a network of interconnected experiences across virtual worlds.

Its flagship title, Spot Zero, is an anime-style 3D action RPG built on Unreal Engine. The game combines fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with the comfort of pet collection mechanics, creating a hybrid experience that’s both action-packed and emotionally engaging for players.

👉Gameplay highlights

Set in the continent of Noah, Spot Zero casts players as the “Investigator,” navigating a richly crafted world where humans and yokai (supernatural spirits) live in fragile harmony. The game features a main storyline, boss battles, and resource-driven dungeon raids.

With a deep progression system, multiple combat modes (including both active and AFK play), and pet mechanics inspired by Monster Hunter, Spot Zero offers a persistent world designed for both action-focused players and collectors.

Spot Zero stands out for its genre-blending gameplay and emotionally immersive storytelling, features rarely seen in traditional ARPGs. The game focuses on narrative immersion, strong visual design, and evolving relationships with characters and companions. It also includes blockchain-enabled features like loot boxes and item trading, supported by Arbitrum One and Mantle’s gaming networks.

At Tokyo Game Show 2024, more than 400 attendees waited in line to try the game, with an average wait time of 15 minutes.

The closed beta reinforced enthusiasm and exceeded expectations, with an 118% install rate driven by referrals and re-installs, 85% D3 retention, and an average of 2.5 hours of daily playtime per user.

👉 Eimi: Emotional AI that learns

Eimi is Tarta Labs’ emotional AI engine, designed to enable real-time, emotionally intelligent interactions in-game. It allows characters to respond to players using voice, facial expression, gaze, and gesture, with sub-20 millisecond response times powered by proprietary emotion recognition models.

Integrated directly into Spot Zero, Eimi brings NPCs, companions, and pet yokai to life, allowing them to show emotion, adapt to player behavior, and evolve through ongoing interaction.

Beyond the game, Eimi’s SDK gives studios, IP holders, and robotics developers the ability to create emotionally responsive characters in a matter of weeks, transforming static IP into dynamic, engaging, and monetizable experiences.

Seamless web3: Powering Spot Zero with Sequence Embedded Wallet

Tarta Labs utilizes Sequence’s embedded wallet to integrate web3 functionality into Spot Zero, maintaining the player experience.

With Sequence’s non-custodial, smart contract-based wallet solution, Spot Zero eliminates traditional friction points previously associated with crypto onboarding. Players can create and use a wallet instantly via email, social logins (like X/Twitter, Facebook, Twitch), or passkey. No seed phrases or browser extensions required.This streamlined experience is especially valuable for Spot Zero’s audience, many of them new to web3 but highly mobile-native and socially connected.

Beyond onboarding, Sequence empowers Spot Zero with robust in-game asset management and monetization features. Players can securely collect, trade, and own digital assets like rare items, pets, or cosmetics within the game using their embedded wallet. The wallet supports marketplace integrations and supports transaction batching, reducing gas fees and improving speed and performance.

By making blockchain interactions nearly invisible, Sequence allows Spot Zero to deliver web3-powered ownership without adding complexity for players.

With wallet security, scalability, Unreal Engine compatibility, and UX optimization handled by Sequence, Tarta Labs can focus on crafting an emotionally rich, engaging world while ensuring the game is ready for the future of digital assets.

“At Tarta Labs, we’re building a next-generation anime universe where technology, emotion, and artistry converge. With Spot Zero, we’ve fused high-impact action gameplay with emotionally resonant storytelling and collectible mechanics to deliver a world that players genuinely care about. But the real magic begins when Eimi, our emotional AI engine, brings these characters to life. Combined with seamless web3 integration via Sequence’s embedded wallets, we’re empowering players to own their journey, assets, and relationships within the game. This is the future of interactive anime: dynamic, personalized, and profoundly human.”
Freya Cheng, Co-founder and Head of Marketing at Tarta Labs

“At Sequence, our mission is to make web3 frictionless and secure for end users, while empowering developers to create innovative on-chain experiences. By integrating our embedded smart contract wallets directly into Spot Zero’s gameplay, the Tarta Labs team delivers a seamless onboarding experience, allowing players to instantly earn, own, and mint on-chain assets securely, without common web3 wallet distractions like popups, gas fees, or seed phrases, keeping players focused on Spot Zero's stunning visuals and gameplay.”
Issei Kashima, Head of APAC BD & Partnerships at Sequence

With Sequence handling the complexity under the hood, Spot Zero becomes what every web3 game should strive for: intuitive, immersive, and owned by the player from the very first click.
