What the developer says
The artwork “Girl with Flowers” has been replaced with a newly illustrated piece by KOHSKE. We will continue to progressively replace in-game artworks—such as paintings displayed in the corridors—that contain elements inspired by AI reference materials. No AI tools were used in the creation of the scenario, characters, or UI elements.

Scenario, characters and UI are stated as human-made. The developer has few releases and a substantial review base, so no volume-release signal. Against: The developer is actively replacing the AI-referenced artworks and states no AI was used for scenario, characters or UI, suggesting limited scope. |
