There is no live AI generation in the game. All maps and characters are hand-crafted. Some audio and a few in-game art elements (such as lore background pages) currently use AI as placeholders and will be replaced as development continues.

What other sources say
| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer's own disclosure states AI is used for some audio and a few in-game art elements, so AI content ships to players. Maps and characters are described as hand-crafted, indicating real development effort. The curator's note adds nothing beyond the disclosure and is not treated as independent evidence. Against: The developer says AI assets are temporary placeholders to be replaced, and the game has only 2 reviews, so the shipped AI footprint may be limited. |
| Remove AI Slop open-source extension | Some AI (music/sound, art, story/dialogue) |
| Games That Use AI Generation Steam curator | “Game contains audio and art assets that are generated by AI. Dev claims they will be replacing all AI content later. Good to plan to remove it but it never should have been used in the first place.” |
