What the developer says
Gen AI was used as a dev tool to help with implementing code and in game content. Game design, mechanics, and creative direction were not by AI.

What other sources say
| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for code and in-game content, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. Design, mechanics, and creative direction are stated as human, and the studio has a modest release pace. A curator note only mentions AI for code, which is consistent but not additional evidence. Against: The disclosure is vague about which in-game content is AI-generated, and the game has few reviews, so the extent of AI use is uncertain. |
