What the developer says
At the time of the game's release, we were doing everything ourselves. But the old icons were created by artificial intelligence, and we slightly improved them ourselves. We also had AI-powered art when we advertised it on third-party sites.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states old icons were AI-created and then slightly improved by hand, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Marketing art used AI too, but that is store-side. One release in 12 months and a single review don't meet the volume threshold for high effort risk. Against: Developer says they did everything themselves and only improved the AI icons; the game has only one review, so little is known about the rest of its content. |
