What the developer says
Character art, event illustrations, background art and store artwork in this game were made with generative AI image tools. The developer set the style and composition, wrote the prompts, reviewed the results and rewrote the prompts over many rounds, then chose what to keep, retouched it and composed the final images. The scenario and dialogue were developed together with a generative AI, which wrote the Japanese text. Every line was read, judged and revised by the developer. Game design and direction are the developer's own. Music and sound effects are the work of a human composer and are not AI-generated. All languages other than Japanese are machine-translated and have not been proofread by a human translator.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools produced character art, event illustrations, background art and store artwork, and that a generative AI wrote the Japanese scenario and dialogue. Music and sound are human-made and the developer directed design, but most visual and written asset types involve AI. Only one game exists, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Developer set style, prompts and composition, revised AI text line by line, and human composer handled music and sound; no evidence of rapid multi-game releases. |
