Arknights: Playable Explanation and Player Agency under Opacity
arXiv:2603.28775v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As generative AI increasingly mediates learning and decision-making, users often act effectively while struggling to interpret how system outcomes are produced. While Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) research has primarily addressed this problem through transparency and visualization, less attention has been paid to how explanation is constructed through interaction. This paper examines digital games as explainable interfaces by analyzing how explanation can be configured as a playable process. Using Arknights as a case study, the paper conducts a qualitative close reading and interface analysis of the diegetic AI system PRTS, focusing on the implied player. The analysis shows that PRTS provides usable but unverifiable explanations:
