Gilded Omen — An AI-Built Interactive Roleplay (Art, Prophecy & the Painter Who Sees Deaths)
Final Product: Gilded Omen
Cover
The 16:9 key-art cover: Rafayel — the flamboyant painter with pink-to-lilac hair and violet eyes — turns from the auction block mid-sale, paint still wet on his sleeve, while a woman in black watches from the doorway and the evening sale continues behind him in crimson and gold. Painted in the world’s own idol semi-3D painterly direction with GPT Image 2.
Gameplay
Actual gameplay: the story opens in a city auction house on its last three lots. Rafayel stands at the back of the room in a coat that costs more than the lot and looks at you instead of his own canvas, the live scene art runs beside the narration, and the free-text box waits for your move — with two AI-written suggested moves already on the table.
Gameplay
Actual gameplay: with the scene-media panel collapsed the narration runs full width over the blurred key art — the premise ("Every canvas you have ever certified has been followed by a death"), Rafayel’s first line and the unsigned canvas that is already leaning against your door, with a date in the corner of the frame.
Gameplay
Actual gameplay, close up: the scene-media panel on the left, the live narration on the right — Rafayel refuses the sale ("Do not certify that one. Some futures should stay blurry — and this is the first time I have ever asked you for anything."), Mara Voss watches you find the canvas through the window of her car, and the options the AI wrote for the next beat sit under the transcript.
Gilded Omen is a playable AI roleplay — an art-world prophecy mystery written and directed live by AI, running in your browser with nothing to install.
You authenticate paintings for a living. Every canvas you have ever certified has been followed by a death — and the anonymous buyer who keeps outbidding the room is buying them back to change the ending. Rafayel is a reclusive painter whose every finished work has predicted a death that came true; he has just finished a canvas that shows, for the first time, himself. The secret he is guarding is that the paintings only kill when someone who can read them — you — confirms them. His curse and your gift are the same mechanism, and one of you has to stop painting.
Answer in your own words ("Carry the canvas to Rafayel's studio and make him explain the date", "Call Mara Voss and ask why she is always there when the paintings change hands") or tap one of the suggested moves, and a live AI agent writes the next beat, keeps the painter in character and moves the relationship between you. Underneath the tension run three investigable threads — How do the paintings predict death?, Who is Mara Voss really working for? and What was the first painting? — each with its own clues, actions, discoveries and consequences.

Game Features
- Live LLM Narrative Direction — nothing here is a fixed script. A deepseek-v4-flash agent reads your action, keeps the painter in voice and writes the next beat, the subtext and the suggested moves as you play. The same agent built the premise, the core conflict, the relationship graph, the three investigable threads, the four locations and the opening auction scene from a single world prompt.
- One Painter, Three Price-Tags — Rafayel performs. He jokes through the worst of it, prices his own paintings like apologies, and tells the truth only when he is talking about someone else’s work. He keeps the same voice across sessions, and he remembers which canvases you refused to certify.
- Answer In Your Own Words — Or Tap A Move — type any action into the free-text box, or pick one of the AI’s suggested moves. Every reply nudges the gallery, the deaths, the locked room and the man who keeps painting futures he has already seen.
- Three Investigable Threads — <em>How do the paintings predict death?</em> follows deaths that match their canvases down to weather and angle, the early paintings that never came true, and authentication reports stamped the day before each death. <em>Who is Mara Voss really working for?</em> follows a gallerist whose client list includes the families of everyone who died, and an insurance ledger that spiked after each one. <em>What was the first painting?</em> leads to a child’s painting of a house locked in a room, and to the fire that killed the family who lived there. Each thread carries clues, actions, discoveries, a reveal and consequences that change the ending you can reach.
- A Story That Remembers You — the relationship graph tracks the magnetic tension and guilty fascination between you and Rafayel, plus your rivalry with Mara Voss and his distrust of her. The story keeps your promises, your refusals and your cruelties: come back tomorrow and the gallery resumes exactly where you left it.
- Cut-Out Sprites, Painted Scenes, Zero Install — Rafayel was cut out with <span class="ml-model-badge">birefnet-general</span> into true transparent PNGs, so the painter stands cleanly over the auction house, the night atelier, the locked room and the white-cube gallery. Free to start, mobile-first, nothing to download.
Character Sprites
Sprite
Rafayel, the painter, in full-body standee: striking pink-to-lilac hair, violet eyes, elegant theatrical fashion in coastal-atelier pastels and deep purple, one hand raised mid-performance. Generated against a pure white matte and background-removed with BiRefNet into a true transparent PNG.
Sprite
Rafayel, second standee: pink-lilac hair, violet eyes, a stylish purple-pink outfit, hand on hip and a dramatic soft smile — the version that reads instantly at dialogue scale, cut out with BiRefNet to a clean alpha edge.
Sprite
Rafayel in the dim studio: loose dark shirt with paint-flecked sleeves, brush held to his lips, canvas easels behind him. The half-body version used for the opening scene, cut from the painted studio portrait into a transparent sprite.
Sprite
Rafayel, close portrait: theatrical mercurial expression, violet eyes and paint-stained fingers, cut out with BiRefNet so the painter can be placed over any of the story’s scenes without a white box or a matte edge.
Production Process Breakdown
Stage 1: World Buildingdeepseek-v4-flash
The world "Handsome Men in the Galaxy" fixed the house art direction — refined semi-realistic painterly, value-defined contours, organised shadow planes, warm translucent midtones, small controlled speculars, idol semi-3D painterly — and the rule that runs the galaxy: attention is currency, and everyone is in debt. Gilded Omen was written inside it as a quieter, colder story: a painter, an auction house, and a gift that kills when it is confirmed.

Stage 2: Roleplay & Story Draftingdeepseek-v4-flash
From that premise the agent wrote the playable spine: the default opening (the last three lots, Rafayel buying his own painting back, the unsigned canvas waiting at your door with a date in the corner), a relationship graph of magnetic tension, guilty fascination, rivalry and distrust, four locations — the Auction House, Rafayel’s Studio, the Locked Room and Mara Voss Gallery — three quick-start hooks, four story directions, and three investigable threads with clues, actions, discoveries, reveals and consequences.

Stage 3: Cast Portraitsgpt-image-2
Rafayel was painted with GPT Image 2 in three registers — two full-body standees against pure white mattes, plus a dim-studio portrait with brush in hand and easels behind him — each with an explicit composition, expression and costume brief so the character reads instantly at dialogue scale and stays consistent across the story.

Stage 4: Scene Art & Key Visualgpt-image-2
The story’s four settings were generated with GPT Image 2: a candlelit auction saleroom with a spotlit easel on the block, a painter’s atelier at night with canvases stacked against iron windows, a locked storeroom crammed with wrapped canvases under a single bare bulb, and an immaculate white-cube gallery at night — plus the 16:9 key-art cover that became the share card.

Stage 5: Transparent Cut-Outbirefnet-general
Each white-matte portrait was background-removed with BiRefNet into a true transparent PNG, so the painter composites cleanly over the auction house, the atelier, the locked room or the gallery without a white box — no matte edges, no haloing.

Scene Backgrounds
BG
The Auction House: gilded columns, red velvet drapes, rows of dark velvet chairs and a spotlighted easel on the block holding a half-finished painting — candlelight, brass and deep aubergine. Where certified futures are sold, and where Mara Voss does her quiet business.
BG
Rafayel’s Studio: canvases stacked against tall iron-framed windows, a paint-splattered floor, easels, rags and jars, moonlight through the glass. Where the futures are painted — including the one he cannot show you.
BG
The Locked Room: a narrow storeroom crammed with canvases wrapped in cloth and stacked in rows, dust in the air and a single bare bulb — and one child’s painting propped alone on a wooden chair. Where the childhood painting and every failed destruction live.
BG
Mara Voss Gallery: a white-cube gallery at night — bone-white walls, polished concrete, a spotlit row of framed canvases behind a velvet rope. Where the mechanism is sold as high art.
BG
The world’s grand gala hall: gold chandeliers, marble columns, candlelit tables and blurred masked silhouettes in warm gold and deep red — the world art this story’s art market grew out of, kept in the same space and reusable by any work built on the world.
BG
The world’s starliner observatory lounge at dawn: floor-to-ceiling curved windows onto a violet nebula and a rising golden star, cream-and-gold furnishings with deep purple velvet — the quiet, luminous end of the same galaxy, painted in the world’s shared semi-realistic painterly style.
