What the developer says
Some of the content shipped with this game was made with generative AI tools and then reviewed and edited by the developer: 3D character and building models, the key art and store artwork, character voice lines produced with text-to-speech from the developer's scripts, and dialogue and case text drafted with AI writing assistance. All of it is pre-made and included in the game files. Nothing is generated while you play, and the game never connects to any AI service or sends player data anywhere.
