s[TOR-Y]telling: Closed Loop

s[TOR-Y]telling uses large language models to generate text-based character interactions and narrative responses during gameplay. Players can run the included Llama model locally on compatible hardware, or choose optional Cloud AI.

Technical Implementation & Privacy: Local AI generation runs on the player’s device and supports offline single-player. Cloud AI requires an internet connection and uses credits. In Cloud mode, prompts and relevant conversation context are sent through a relay operated by Curious Biped to external AI providers via OpenRouter for generation and content safety checks.

Safety & Moderation: We have implemented a multi-layered safety strategy to ensure a safe experience:

Model-Level Guardrails: The included local model is an Instruct model with built-in safety measures. Cloud AI uses external models with additional content safety checks performed by our relay.

System-Level Directives: All prompts include an additional safety layer to prevent sexual violence, pedophilia, minor abuse/exploitation, explicit sexual behavior, or hate speech.

Gameplay Integration: While the primary Visual Novel is hand-authored, the results of your sandbox evaluations influence the story's trajectory. The AI serves as a tool for narrative exploration, bridging the gap between open-ended analysis and cinematic storytelling.

Generative AI was also used in the process of creating the game static assets (images, text, and music).
