What the developer says
In "Don't Click in The Dark," we utilize AI-generated graphics as a foundation for our creative process. The AI helps generate base images, which we then use as inspiration to create detailed pixel art. These AI-generated visuals serve as a starting point, allowing our artists to craft unique, atmospheric environments and characters. Additionally, we animate these pixel art assets.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generates base images that artists turn into detailed pixel art, so some in-game assets are AI-derived. The developer describes an active art and animation process, suggesting real production effort. Only one of two games discloses AI and the studio has no recent release volume. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, so the actual proportion of AI-derived assets shipping to players can't be verified. |
