FILE 05 / BOTS
Reported mode, incomplete settings
Offline bot matches are reported—but the final rulebook is not public.
Credible announcement coverage and a developer interview describe match-style bot play separately from the authored story. They do not establish every playable role, AI option, reward or no-internet condition.

What can be said
A useful answer with a hard evidence edge
- Bot play has been described as separate from the six-chapter story.
