What the developer says
After I personally finalized the design phase, some art assets were first rendered using generative AI tools, and I then manually refined and detailed them. Similarly, certain background music pieces were developed with the help of generative AI tools. Should you have any concerns about these methods, please feel free to experience the game according to your own preferences. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses AI used for some art assets and certain background music, both refined by hand afterward. That covers parts of the game, not most of it. Seven releases in 12 months is notable but below the 12+ threshold, and 188 reviews with 81% positive suggest a real audience. Against: The disclosure says the design phase was personally finalized and AI output was manually refined, which points to human direction rather than volume output. |
