Just to make everyone aware, the AI API offered by OpenAI is incredibly affordable! Throughout multiple playthroughs, I've only spent 55 cents (which is charged at the end of the month). OpenAI has a great pay-as-you-go feature that allows you to pay only for the resources you actually use. For I believe something like 5 cents, you can get 1000 tokens, which is equivalent to around 750 words. It's a cost-effective option that can easily cover multiple playthroughs, so there's no need to feel obligated to pay $20 a month. You can simply pay for the amount you actually use. And for anyone worried about over paying they have a hard limiter you can set to stop payments from going over a certain price.

Wow so you played for like 15 minutes in a month? No freaking way you spend only 55 cents in a month! Earlier I ended up spending OVER $60!!! I did play a freaking ton, but even around 7 hours of gameplay is on average probably a whopping $5, pretty absurd pricing for a game.

Johnsir,

It has been a while, but to be clear, as I mentioned in the post, I put a limit on my spending. After what I recall being about 3-4 hours, I ended up spending 55 cents, which amounted to 3750 words—roughly the mid-range of a short story. If we do some basic math (ignoring any guesswork past $60), $60 spent on the API at that time would have equated to 900,000 words. To put this in perspective, the entire Harry Potter series contains 1,084,170 words, meaning the API practically wrote several books' worth of words . and to be clear I never said anywhere in my post that I paid 55 cents over the course of an entire month of playing. While the game is unique by no means is it something I would assume people would play for longer than 3-5 hours.
