Facts about who made the game and how players received it. They don't depend on AI, and they help tell a carefully made game that used some AI apart from mass-produced ones.

What the developer says

Our game uses AI exclusively to generate visuals for the Steam store page. No AI is used within the gameplay itself or to generate any in-game content. The AI-generated visuals are intended to enhance the presentation of our game on the Steam platform.

From the “AI Generated Content Disclosure” on the Steam store page, quoted as written. First seen by us on Oct 28, 2026.

Reasoning

The disclosure limits AI to store page visuals, which are marketing assets rather than shipped gameplay content. No curator notes or other signals suggest AI in the game itself. The developer has only one game and no rapid release pattern.

Against: The disclosure is self-reported and cannot be independently verified; a missing in-game disclosure does not prove absence of AI content.
