What the developer says
Generative AI was used as a tool in a few places. Parts of some props started from AI-generated images, which I painted over to fit the game’s look. Some of the sound effects were made with AI tools. AI also helped with code design and with grammar check on some of the text. No generative AI runs while you play.

Generative AI tools were used during development across visual assets, audio, and written content. AI-assisted outputs were substantially edited, composited, photobashed and hand-painted by the developer before inclusion in the game. No generative AI is used at runtime.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI touched in-game assets: props (painted over) and sound effects, plus code and grammar help. That makes AI-generated content a limited but real part of what ships. The developer has one game, not yet released, with no volume-release signals. Against: AI art was painted over by hand, and no AI runs during play; the developer has only one game, so no mass-production pattern. |
