The Brothers Karamazov

Image and video: the backgrounds, character portraits and animated backdrops in this game, and the artwork on this store page, were created with generative models, then selected and edited by hand. Text: the prose of the novel is not generated. It is Dostoevsky's own text and historic public-domain translations. The exceptions are the Italian and Spanish translations, and about thirty lines of the Chinese, which were produced with a language model from the Russian original and then reviewed by a human. In-game audio: not created with generative models. The ambience is fifteen loops — fourteen built from CC0-licensed field recordings (Freesound), one synthesised with plain DSP. Credits and licences ship with the game in CREDITS.txt. Music: the game itself contains no music. Music appears only in the marketing trailer on this page, and it was generated with Suno.
