What the developer says
Some assets in this game were created with the help of generative AI: background and character art, UI and achievement icons, music and sound effects, and promotional material such as the trailer. All of them were selected, edited and checked by hand before use. The script and all in-game text were written by a human. The game performs no AI generation at runtime and connects to no external AI service.
