What the developer says
Each round, players write a short story based on a set of randomly assigned keywords and submit it. An on-device AI (a generative language model that runs locally, built into the game) also writes its own short story using the same keywords and mixes it in with the players' submissions. The core objective is for participants to guess which of the revealed stories was written by the AI. The AI-generated content is short text (a story and a title) created fresh each round, and it runs entirely on the player's own machine rather than an external server.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: core · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI generates fresh story text every round, and that guessing the AI's story is the core objective. This is AI content generated live during play, so scope is core. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release signals. Against: The AI runs locally and only produces short text; the rest of the game (multiplayer, guessing mechanics) appears human-built, and the developer has no history of mass releases. |
