What the developer says
AI-Generated Content Disclosure This game uses generative AI in the following ways: - Pre-generated content: part of the store page artwork (capsule images) and some of the in-game artwork were created with AI image generation tools during development. Every such asset was reviewed, edited and finalized by the developer before release. - Live-generated content: NPC dialogue and ambient chatter are generated in real time by an open-source language model (Qwen2.5) bundled with the game. It runs entirely offline on the player's own machine via llama.cpp - no external server, no third-party API, and no internet connection are required. Players can toggle this feature on or off. The model runs locally using the player's CPU - no data is sent anywhere.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-driven · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools made some in-game artwork and capsule art, and an offline LLM generates NPC dialogue and ambient chatter during play. Live-generated dialogue is a core content type, so scope is core. Only one release in 12 months and no evidence of volume, so effort risk stays medium. Against: Developer says every AI asset was reviewed, edited and finalized, the dialogue feature is toggleable, and the model runs locally offline; one release in 12 months argues against mass production. |
