What the developer says
This game uses Generative AI (Large Language Models) running locally on the player's device to generate dynamic text dialogues. When the player sends a text message to characters like "Shadow" or "Ayşe" via the in-game phone interface, the local AI generates a unique, context-aware reply in real-time. The AI is strictly constrained by internal system prompts to stay within the bounds of the psychological thriller narrative and character personalities. No external AI services are used, and no player data is transmitted over the internet.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: core · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states a local LLM produces real-time character replies, which is AI content generated during play. That makes AI central to the interactive fiction rather than a supporting asset. The developer has few releases and the game is unreleased, so volume signals are limited. Against: The AI is constrained by system prompts and runs locally; the developer has only one recent release, so there is no sign of mass-produced volume. |
