AI Usage Disclosure

Some of the game's written dialogue was drafted with the help of AI tools, then edited and checked by our team. No AI is used while you play: every line is written in advance and chosen by the game's own system, and the game never connects to an AI service.

Disclosure History

Captured versions of the developer’s statement. This record can miss changes between checks and does not establish when AI use began.

THE GAFFER uses a generative AI language model, bundled directly with the game and run entirely on your own machine, to bring some in-game dialogue to life. Every character you meet has been written and directed by us — the AI generates their exact words in the moment, guided by their personality and by what has already happened in your career. This isn't an open-ended chat feature. Conversations are structured and guided, limited to a set number of exchanges per interaction, not a freeform chatbot. There's nothing to configure and nothing you can adjust or influence outside of the dialogue itself — what you say carries weight within the game's own trust and reputation systems, shaping how characters see you over time, but you can't alter how the AI operates. As with any language model, output can occasionally be unpredictable. See the mature content description for more detail.
