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.
3D Models: Generative artificial intelligence is used to restore and recreate interior objects of the real building that were lost in the fire.
Images: The paintings inside the manor are real photographs of artworks that once hung inside, but they have been enhanced and restored.
Music & Sounds: Specially created to build a unique and immersive atmosphere.
The game's narrative videos (including surveillance footage, dashcam recordings, interrogation replays, crime scene reconstructions, atmospheric establishing shots, etc.) are created using AI video generation tools such as Seedance 2.0 and Jimeng. Character sprites, character portraits, and scene backgrounds are generated using AI image tools banana2 and image2.
All AI-generated content has been manually curated, edited, and adjusted by developers before being integrated into the game, with full reviews conducted for copyright and compliance.
The screenplay, dialogue, level design, reasoning logic, programming code, and UI are all originally created by human developers. No AI models are invoked nor external AI services connected during gameplay.
Some parts of the game content were created with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
AI tools were used during the writing process of certain cases to support idea generation and narrative structuring. All content was reviewed, edited, and finalized by the developer.
Additionally, some visual assets found in the in-game gallery were generated using AI-based tools and curated to match the game's style and atmosphere.
Voice synthesis. All informant dialogue is voiced using Google Cloud Text-to-Speech. Each of the 27 informants has a distinct voice selected to reflect their regional background.
Story illustrations. Discovery images were generated using AI image generation and curated by the developer.
Game content. Story text, discovery descriptions, and informant dialogue were drafted with AI assistance and edited by the developer.
No AI-generated content is produced live during gameplay. All content is pre-rendered and reviewed before shipping.
All visual assets within this game—including scenes, characters, and interface-related visuals—were created using the Doubao generative AI tool and constitute AI-generated visual content. The developer carefully curated, refined, and optimized these AI-generated assets to ensure they align seamlessly with the game's overall artistic style and gameplay requirements. Conversely, the game's core gameplay design, programming, logical architecture, sound effect selection, and store listing copy were developed entirely by the developer independently, without the use of generative AI tools. We hereby provide this full and honest disclosure to our players to ensure complete content transparency.
Some visual assets such as fictional product packaging, posters, decorative graphics, icons and marketing materials were created with the help of generative AI and then reviewed/edited before being included in the game.
This game was made using tools like Photoshop, Chat GPT and Grok. As a solo developer it is useful to have these tools available to create games like this one.
Some character portraits and CG illustrations in this game were created with reference to AI-generated images for visual inspiration and compositional guidance. All final artwork was manually produced by our art team.
Some visual assets, such as store capsule images and in-game card illustrations, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. All gameplay and code are original.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was leveraged for key aspects of the game's development, including in-game logic, support systems, and certain artistic assets.
Artificial intelligence tools were used during certain stages of the development of The Letter as supportive tools to assist the creative process. AI was primarily utilized for concept ideation, early visual references, and iterative design exploration.
These tools helped accelerate prototyping, generate visual inspiration, and assist with writing drafts during early development phases. However, all core gameplay systems, narrative design, environmental storytelling, and final artistic direction were created, reviewed, and curated by the developer.
AI tools were used as creative assistants rather than autonomous content generators, ensuring that the final experience remains a carefully crafted and human-directed project.
Some background scenes, supporting character artwork, music, and localization text in this game were created with the assistance of AI generation tools. All main character artwork, UI design, and core visual assets were created by human artists.
Artificial: Proxy Bar uses artificial intelligence to generate dynamic dialogue content in real time.
The game integrates AI technologies including Ollama, OpenAI Whisper (speech recognition), and Google Gemma language models. Because of this, in-game conversations and responses are generated automatically and may be unpredictable.
AI-generated content may be inaccurate, nonsensical, inappropriate, or offensive. The developer does not guarantee the accuracy or suitability of AI-generated content and is not responsible for outputs produced by the AI systems.
By using the AI features in the game, players acknowledge that they interact with AI-generated content at their own discretion and risk.
All characters, CG, and UI resources in the game were either commissioned or self-drawn by the developer.
Currently, the background resources are placeholders generated using commercial AI to match the overall artistic style. All content is reviewed and finalized by the developer.
Once developers secure sufficient budget, these AI-generated contents will be replaced.
This game contains a limited amount of AI-generated visual content created during development due to the project's low budget. Specifically, suspect profile images and some evidence-related visual assets or models were created with the help of generative AI tools. Not all evidence assets are AI-generated.
The use of AI is limited to pre-made visual content only. No gameplay systems, dialogue, story logic, code, or real-time interactive content is generated by AI during play. All gameplay mechanics, case logic, interactions, and progression were designed and implemented by the developer.
Most of the game's graphics assets were created using pose sketches (ControlNet) and then adjusted in the graphics editor to maintain consistency. The game does not use any real-time AI-generated content.
Generative AI was used as a supportive tool to enhance the visual details of character portraits and a specific in-game interactable item. Additionally, AI-assisted technology was utilized to refine multi-language translations to ensure linguistic accuracy for global players, and AI-generated voice technology was used for the audio narration in the main teaser video.
Some illustrations such as backgrounds or monsters were created using AI-based tools during development, and were modified before use.
