What the developer says
Generative AI tools (such as Gemini) were used during development to assist in creating graphic design elements for in-game parody VHS cover art and store page graphic assets. All AI-generated artwork was manually curated, edited, and formatted into final 3D texture maps for the game's assets.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for in-game VHS cover textures and store graphics, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer describes manual curation, editing, and formatting, indicating real production work. Only one release in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Against: AI touches in-game textures, not just marketing, and the game has only 2 reviews at 0% positive shortly after release, which limits confidence in effort signals. |
