What the developer says
GPT technology is used in the development of Hysteria in Howlsbend to power conversations between players and the cast of characters. The technology generates responses based on the input provided by the player, and a tailored AI context carefully crafted by the team. This enables the characters to generate natural dialogues, and evolve over the game experience by having emotional curves.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states GPT powers in-game conversations with characters, so AI content ships to players. That is a supporting feature within a hand-built visual novel, not the whole game. The developer has one game, no rapid release pattern, and no low-effort volume signals. Against: The disclosure emphasizes a tailored AI context crafted by the team, suggesting deliberate design around the AI feature rather than wholesale generation. |
