What the developer says

The game does not use any real-time AI generation during gameplay. All player experiences are consistent and reproducible.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure covers a limited set of static visual assets, not core gameplay or live generation. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there's no volume-release pattern. A puzzle/horror game with case files suggests deliberate design rather than mass production. Against: The game is unreleased, so the full extent of AI use in shipped content can't be verified beyond the disclosure. |
