How your play is processed
Errant Night uses AI models to run your game. Here is who sees what.
Anthropic (Claude) is the main storyteller. It sees your messages, the story so far, and your character and the people you meet.
Some smaller jobs go to other providers to keep the game fast and affordable:
- DeepSeek, a company based in China, reads some of your messages and combat actions to work out what you are trying to do, checks the story against the game state, and writes some combat round and victory summaries. It sees your messages, story text, and character and NPC names.
- Google (Gemini) checks some purchases and coin changes. It sees the trade and coin details from your turn.
- OpenAI draws character and scene pictures, indexes story notes so the game can recall earlier events, and may stand in for another provider when one is unavailable. It sees picture descriptions, story notes, and, when standing in, the same messages and story text that provider would have seen.
- OpenRouter, a service that runs open models on hosts in the US or EU, may stand in for another provider when one is unavailable. It sees the same messages and story text that provider would have seen.
None of these providers receive your account email, your password, or any payment details.
If a provider is unavailable, a turn may be handled by another of the providers listed here.
