What the developer says
We use AI in a very limited way to generate rough starting meshes for 3D models. Those initial models act only as a starting point - similar to a placeholder. From there, all the work is done by us: Models are manually refined, rebuilt, optimized and integrated by the development team. All environments, level design, lighting, materials, and world building are hand-crafted. All gameplay systems, programming, mechanics, and logic are human-written. All story, narrative design, pacing and world lore are human-created. All art direction, maps, layouts, and creative decisions are human-driven. The purpose of this is simple: to remove an entry barrier so this game can exist. We are a small, self-funded team of two developers learning Unreal Engine hands-on, building everything piece by piece. Using AI in this limited way allows us to start from a basic form instead of a blank screen - but the final result is the product of human effort, learning, iteration, and creative intent. We know this can be a sensitive topic, especially for artists and voice actors, and those concerns are completely valid. We truly appreciate everyone who chooses to be a part of this journey.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to placeholder base meshes, with all final art, code, writing and design described as human-made. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there is no volume-release pattern. No curator evidence contradicts the disclosure. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and unverified; AI-assisted base meshes could still shape final in-game models more than stated. |
