What the developer says
This game uses generative AI to power NPC letter responses during gameplay. When players write to in-game characters, an AI system generates personalized replies based on each character's predefined personality, knowledge boundaries, and narrative role. The AI does not create story content freely. It operates within a structured information system where specific clues and facts are released only when triggered by the player's questions. All narrative content, character writing, and story outcomes are authored by the development team. The AI serves as a delivery mechanism for this authored content, not as a content creator. No art or music assets are generated by AI. All visual and audio assets in the game are created by human artists. Credits can be found on our website. Why AI is used: The core gameplay revolves around investigating through freely written letters. Every player asks different questions, follows a different investigative path, and sometimes needs to persuade, pressure, or confront characters to pry loose specific information — meaning NPC responses cannot be pre-written. They must be generated in real time based on each player's specific inquiries. AI is the necessary means to enable this gameplay, not a replacement for human creators or a cost-saving measure. Without AI, this game's core mechanic simply could not exist. Our team is made up of game enthusiasts and young professionals with an average age of 24. We are not an AI technology company. Our Demo is 100% free to play, and we do not use player data for any AI model training. We understand that AI technology remains ethically complex, and we take the concerns of players and fellow creators seriously. We believe, and are committed to proving, that human creativity can command AI, not the other way around. Listening to your feedback is our responsibility. We welcome any questions, suggestions, or concerns about our use of AI — please reach out to our email or our [Discord/QQ]. Your feedback will help us improve and do better.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: core · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generates NPC responses in real time, which is core gameplay, so AI content ships to players. Art, music, and narrative are declared human-authored, and the studio has no volume-release pattern. Effort signals look normal for a small team. Against: AI is a delivery mechanism for authored clues rather than free content creation, and the game is unreleased with no review data. |
