This game uses generative AI tools (including Canva AI) to create some visual assets, such as the logo, menu backgrounds, and promotional artwork.

The trailer's background music was created using a generative AI music tool, licensed for commercial use. No content is generated by AI during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI service.
