What the developer says
All illustration assets in this game were created using generative AI tools (Whisk and ImageFX). All remaining work required to produce the game—from UI design and editing to layout and event scripting—was manually crafted by the developer. AI-generated content is limited to static illustration assets only, and the game does not include any real-time AI generation features.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for all illustrations, a visible in-game asset type, so scope is parts rather than none. The developer says UI, editing, layout, and event scripting were hand-crafted, indicating real production effort. Only one game, not yet released, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Illustrations are a core visual element of a visual novel, so AI coverage of that asset type is substantial; the game is unreleased with no reviews to assess. |
