What the developer says
Below the Bell is a solo project. The story, the town and its people, the endings and the game's systems are the developer's. AI tools were used to speed up the work: to create the art, the monster animations, the music and the sound effects, to help draft and edit the text, and to help with the code. Nothing is generated while you play.

The story, town, characters, endings, and systems are credited to the developer, and nothing is generated live. Only one game in the last 12 months, so no volume signal. Against: The developer claims the story, setting, characters, endings, and systems are their own, and the game is unreleased with no reviews yet, so effort cannot be fully judged. |
