        abstract = {The evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly changed the video game industry. It has improved realism, immersion, and player adaptability. This paper presents ECLIPSE ODYSSEY, an AI-driven single-player action-adventure game developed with Unreal Engine 5.6. The project looks at using Behavior Tree-based AI, Blueprint visual scripting, and real-time rendering technologies like Lumen and Nanite. These tools help create a narrative-driven experience focused on survival, justice, and dynamic gameplay. The game highlights AI adaptability, procedural environment design, and cinematic presentation to provide a high-quality, interactive experience. This paper covers the conceptual framework, AI system design, development process, testing results, and future possibilities for including deep learning-based AI in interactive entertainment.},
