What the developer says
Some of the game's text, including the clients' letters and notes, and the store page text were drafted with the help of an AI language model and edited by the developer. The artwork comes from the game's own renderer and models, not from image-generating AI, and the music is played by the game's own code. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped draft client letters and notes, which players see in-game, so scope is parts. Artwork comes from the game's own renderer and music from its own code, and nothing is generated live. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months, so volume signals don't support high effort risk. Against: AI text was edited by the developer, and the disclosure explicitly rules out AI art, music, and runtime generation, pointing to real development effort. |
