What the developer says
The game's visual assets (mascot design, logo, character art, store graphics, and in-game sprites) were created with the help of an AI image generator and were then selected, edited, and prepared by us for use in the game. This is exclusively pre-generated, fixed content – no content is generated by AI in real time while the game is being played.
From the “AI Generated Content Disclosure” on the Steam store page, quoted as written. First seen by us on Oct 28, 2026.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers most visual asset types, including in-game sprites, so AI content is a large part of what ships. Assets were selected and edited by the developer, and no real-time generation is involved. Only one release in the last 12 months and no review history, so volume-based mass-production signals are absent. Against: The developer states assets were selected, edited, and prepared by hand, and only one game shipped in the last 12 months, which argues against low-effort volume. |
