What the developer says
I used a paid subscription of midjourney for the images of the backgrounds and the characters. Nothing is generated in real time. And the code was made all by hand. I also used some pictures for the game page.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated both backgrounds and characters, which are the main visual assets of a visual novel/point-and-click game. Code was hand-made, showing some real development effort. Only one review long after release, but the studio has few releases, so volume signals are weak. Against: Hand-written code and no real-time generation suggest genuine programming effort; only one of two studio games discloses AI. |
