AI Generated Content Disclosure
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Some 2D art assets, such as certain textures and icons, were created with the help of generative AI tools during development and then reviewed and edited by hand. The game does not generate new AI content while you play and does not send any player data to external AI services.
