About This Game

Fear spreads through a small medieval village as rumors of witchcraft begin to surface.

Suspicion grows, trust collapses, and everyone becomes a potential suspect.

You are the inquisitor sent to uncover the truth.

Question villagers, analyze testimonies, observe suspicious behavior, and decide who will face judgment before sunset.

But the truth is never certain.

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses AI-assisted systems to support dynamic dialogue during interrogations with villagers. The AI helps generate variations in conversations to enhance immersion and replayability while maintaining the game’s narrative structure.

The game also uses AI-assisted systems to generate epilogues based on the player’s verdicts and the relationships between villagers. These epilogues help reflect the consequences of the player’s decisions and provide varied outcomes across playthroughs.

The dialogue and epilogue generation systems operate within structured prompts and developer-defined constraints to ensure consistency with the game’s design.

The AI systems are designed with safeguards to prevent inappropriate or harmful outputs. AI-assisted content is reviewed and refined during development to ensure it remains appropriate for the game’s setting and narrative.
