What the developer says
This game uses AI-generated content. It does not generate anything while you play. Artwork: Character art, backgrounds and short animated background loops were generated with locally run image and video AI models, then selected, edited and composited by the developer. This includes the store page and marketing images. Voice acting: Voices for the narrator and characters were generated with a text-to-speech AI model, with the takes chosen by the developer. Translation: The translations were made with AI assistance. Story text: The story, characters and plot were created by the developer. Some dialogue and narration lines were written or rewritten with the help of AI, and then edited by the developer. Music and most sound effects are made by human creators and used under free licences.
