What the developer says
Some of the assets that ship with Backrooms: Overstay were created with generative AI during early development, primarily a portion of the sound effects and ambient audio, along with some early placeholder art. All of this content is pre-generated and baked into the game. Nothing is generated live while you play, and the game does not connect to any external AI service. We are actively replacing this AI-made content with hand-authored assets across ongoing updates. All AI-assisted content has been reviewed by us for appropriateness and to ensure it does not infringe third-party rights.
