Privacy Policy

1. What We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to run the Game:

• Session data — a temporary session cookie is created when you visit. It is used to track which story branches you are actively playing (to prevent two people editing the same node at once). It expires after 8 hours of inactivity.
• Story data — the choices you make and the story branches you create are stored server-side as part of the shared game world. This content is not personally identifiable.
• Custom scenario text — if you use the Custom Scenario feature, the text you type is transmitted to OpenAI to generate your quest. It is not stored independently by us beyond what is saved as part of the quest record. Do not enter personal information in this field.
• IP address (rate limiting only) — your IP address is captured temporarily in server memory for rate limiting purposes only. It is never written to a database or log file for this purpose, and is discarded when the application restarts.
• Server logs — standard web-server access logs (IP address, request path, timestamp). These are used for diagnostics only, are not shared or sold, and are rotated after 30 days.

We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or payment information.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

We use a single essential session cookie (.SS.Session.v1) to maintain your play session. No tracking or advertising cookies are used. No third-party analytics scripts are loaded.

The Game also uses your browser's localStorage to store any cheat codes you have unlocked. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

3. Third-Party Services

Story generation and image creation rely on third-party APIs:

• OpenAI — story narrative is generated via the OpenAI API. Prompts include game-world context (quest themes, tone guidance, Steve's personality) and, when used, the custom scenario text you provide. No other personal data is included. See OpenAI's Privacy Policy.
• Replicate — scene illustrations are generated via Replicate's Flux model. Prompts include story context only. No personal data is included. See Replicate's Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from Google Fonts CDN. This may log your IP address per Google's standard CDN policies. See Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention

Story data (nodes, NPC records, memories, timelines) is retained as part of the persistent shared game world — it is the game's content. Story data that has not been interacted with for more than 12 months may be archived or removed. Session cookies expire after 8 hours. Server logs are rotated after 30 days. localStorage data persists in your browser until you clear it.

5. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, there is no personal data profile to access or correct. If you believe any content you contributed should be removed, or to submit a data deletion request, contact us at with the subject line "Data Deletion Request". We will respond within 30 days.

6. Age Restriction

The Game is restricted to users aged 18 and over due to mature AI-generated content. A content warning is displayed on every visit confirming this requirement. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the Game evolves. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
