## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a retro 16-bit / 32-bit Japanese visual novel RPG screenshot in ornate pixel art, using a dense limited-color dithering style where the whole image resolves into tiny colored dots when zoomed in.

Canvas: Square 768x768 game screen, pixel-perfect, no modern antialiasing, high-detail fantasy steampunk anime aesthetic.

Main subject: Center-right portrait of {character_name}, a young anime cat-eared crystal dragon lancer girl. She has long emerald-green hair, green eyes, soft blush, pink inner cat ears, a small mechanical hair ornament with a pale flower, and a translucent crystalline dragon tail/wing shape behind her on the right. Outfit: dark navy-violet Victorian explorer jacket with gold trim, white ruffled blouse, corseted bodice, leather belts, brass buckles, chains, and a large green gemstone brooch at the throat. Pose: gentle smile, one hand lifted near the brooch, facing the viewer.

Background: A magical observatory laboratory/library packed with brass instruments and books. Include exactly 5 major background features: 1 tall glowing green crystal containment cylinder on the left, 1 brass astrolabe/orrery behind the character, 1 large parchment celestial chart on the upper right labeled “CELESTIAL CHART”, 1 slanted desk chart/map in the lower left, and 1 wall of dark bookshelves. Add starry arched windows, copper pipes, gears, gauges, and green gem accents throughout.

UI layout: Full game interface with ornate gold-and-green borders. Bottom third contains a large black dialogue box with decorative corners and white Japanese pixel text. Speaker name appears in green brackets as {speaker_label}. Dialogue text default: {dialogue_text}. Include a small white triangular next-page cursor at the lower right of the dialogue box.

Bottom menu and status: Under the dialogue box, show the title logo {game_title} in glowing green pixel lettering. To its right include exactly 6 rectangular command buttons labeled, from left to right: 見る, 話す, 移動, 記録, 読込, 環境. At the very bottom status strip, show exactly 2 status fields: left field “星暦 882年 7月16日 23:45”, right field “星晶炉観測室”, plus a small green orb icon at the far right.

Visual style: Extremely intricate old Japanese PC-98 / Sega Saturn visual novel look, rich jewel tones, black outlines, ornate filigree borders, heavy pixel dithering, limited palette illusion, crisp readable UI text, nostalgic fantasy science atmosphere.

Constraints: Keep all text as pixel-art UI text, preserve the exact 6 button labels and 2 bottom status fields, do not add extra characters, do not use photorealism, no watermark.
```
