How AI is used
Kayotica includes a unique AI-driven detective system. During certain scenes, players talk to the AI who takes a role of a characters. The AI is limited to the story world and cannot go outside the game’s narrative. Player choices in these moments influence relationships and the upcoming story choices. Some images in the game are AI-generated but are consistent with our characters and our color chart.
