What the developer says
Some store assets, marketing imagery, and interface/narrative text were created with assistance from generative AI tools and then edited, curated, and reviewed by the developer. During gameplay, a bundled local language model generates short text-only dialogue in response to player messages. Processing is performed locally on the player's computer; no prompts or generated text are sent to an external AI service.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-driven · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states a local language model generates in-game dialogue in response to player messages, so AI content ships live during play. Store assets, marketing imagery, and interface/narrative text also used generative AI with developer editing. Only one release in the last 12 months, so the volume signal for high effort risk is absent. Against: Developer edited and reviewed the AI-assisted assets, and the game is a single recent release with no volume pattern; the live model runs locally and is a deliberate design feature. |
