What the developer says
Part of the game were created with the help of generative AI tools, then reviewed, edited and assembled by the developer: • visual art — the ambient background images and the animated background loop • audio — background music and sound effects Generative AI is used only during development to produce these assets. The game does NOT use any AI at runtime — there is no live AI generation while you play. Puzzles and word lists are hand-curated, and level layouts are produced by our own deterministic algorithm (not AI).

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI helped produce background visuals and audio, which players see and hear, so scope is parts rather than none. Puzzles, word lists and level layouts are described as hand-curated or algorithm-generated, pointing to real development effort. The developer has released no games in the past year, so there is no volume-release signal. Against: The disclosure is developer-provided and unverified; the game is unreleased with no reviews, so actual asset quality and AI extent cannot be checked. |
