What the developer says
Our game utilizes generative AI to create visually engaging content, including loading screens and promotional images. These AI-generated assets enhance the player experience by offering unique visuals, enriching both the in-game atmosphere and our marketing materials. The AI is used strictly for pre-rendered content and does not affect gameplay mechanics or live interactions.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to loading screens and marketing images, which are minor supporting assets. No evidence of AI in core art, audio, or gameplay. Developer has only one release and no high-volume pattern, so effort risk stays low. Against: Only 2 reviews long after release, which could hint at low engagement, but there is no evidence of mass production or AI covering most asset types. |
