What the developer says
About Generative AI This game used generative AI during development to help create some visual assets. All assets were reviewed, edited, and shipped as pre-made files before release—in the game and on the store page. What AI was used for Character portraits, expression variants, and NPC art Some CG illustrations and background art Some Steam store capsules, library images, and marketing graphics What AI was not used for No images or story are generated live while you play Dialogue, events, and localization were written and proofread by the development team—not produced dynamically by AI during gameplay How it was made Art was generated on the developer’s machine using image-generation tools (SwarmUI / Z-Image Turbo), guided by fixed style and character prompts. Outputs were manually selected and post-processed (e.g. cutout, compositing, resizing) before import into the Godot project. Your copy contains fixed assets only; gameplay does not trigger new AI generation. If you prefer to judge the visual style first, please review the screenshots and trailer on this store page.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for character portraits, expression variants, NPC art, some CG illustrations, and background art, which covers most visual asset types. Dialogue, events, and localization were written by the team, and assets were manually selected and post-processed. The developer has only 2 releases in the last 12 months, so volume signals don't reach high effort risk. Against: The developer reports manual selection, editing, and post-processing of AI outputs, and human-written dialogue and localization, which suggests real production effort despite heavy AI art use. |
