What the developer says
Generative AI was used in parts of this project: the animated story cutscenes were brought to life with AI tools from original artwork drawn by the developer; the game's music, most of its sound effects, some in-game images such as the main menu, its logo and some promotional material, the store-page translations, and the English and Turkish in-game text were also created with generative AI tools. The gameplay itself — its systems, characters, environments and screenshots — is authentic and shows the real game. No AI is used to generate content during gameplay.

Original artwork and gameplay systems are developer-made, showing real effort. The developer has only one game and no rapid release pattern, so effort risk stays medium. Against: Cutscenes derive from original developer artwork, and gameplay, characters and environments are stated as authentic; only one game released, no volume signals. |
