The Moment of Panic

The Moment of Panic uses generative artificial intelligence during gameplay to power its AI advisor characters. These locally running, open-source LLM-based advisors respond to intelligence signals, argue from assigned personalities, and attempt to influence the player’s decisions. Core game logic, threat truth, scoring, win/loss conditions, and outcomes are controlled by the game itself, not by the language model. Generative AI is used for dynamic in-game text responses only, and for some images shown alongside that text. Images are not generated at runtime.
