What the developer says
The English character voices were created with AI text-to-speech, using voices cloned from members of our own team with their consent (they are credited in the game). The scripts were written by us, and the same voices are heard in the trailer. All 3D art, animation, music and sound effects are human-made, either our own work or licensed from their creators. No AI-generated images or music are used in the game or its marketing.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI TTS voices are used for in-game English character dialogue, so some shipped audio is AI-generated. Everything else—3D art, animation, music, sound effects, and scripts—is declared human-made or licensed. The developer has one unreleased game, so there is no sign of low-effort volume. Against: The game is not yet released, so the actual extent of AI voice use in the final build cannot be verified beyond the disclosure. |
