What the developer says
Image and video: the backgrounds, character portraits and animated backdrops in this game, and the artwork on this store page, were created with generative models, then selected and edited by hand. Text: the prose of the novel is not generated. It is Dostoevsky's own text and historic public-domain translations. The exceptions are the Italian and Spanish translations, and about thirty lines of the Chinese, which were produced with a language model from the Russian original and then reviewed by a human. In-game audio: not created with generative models. The ambience is fifteen loops — fourteen built from CC0-licensed field recordings (Freesound), one synthesised with plain DSP. Credits and licences ship with the game in CREDITS.txt. Music: the game itself contains no music. Music appears only in the marketing trailer on this page, and it was generated with Suno.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states most visual assets (backgrounds, portraits, backdrops) were made with generative models, then selected and edited by hand. Text is the original public-domain novel except Italian, Spanish and ~30 Chinese lines; audio is licensed field recordings. Two releases in 12 months and 14 reviews with 92% positive suggest a small but real project, not volume output. Against: Visuals were hand-selected and edited, audio is CC0 recordings, and the core text is authentic Dostoevsky, showing genuine production work despite heavy AI art use. |
