What the developer says
Use of Generative AI in the Game Some in-game assets were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. Specifically, NPC images were initially hand-drawn by the artist and then finalized and colored using AI-based tools. Additionally, certain 3D objects appearing in the game were created and refined through AI-assisted production. No AI is used to generate content dynamically during gameplay. All AI-assisted content was finalized during the development process and complies with standard Steam store requirements regarding copyright, impersonation, and other applicable policies.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI helped finalize and color hand-drawn NPC images and refine some 3D objects, so some in-game assets are AI-assisted. No live generation occurs and the developer has released only two games, with no sign of volume output. Review count is low but there is no evidence of mass production. Against: The artist hand-drew the NPC images first, and AI was used only for finishing and coloring, which points to real human development effort. |
