Where do games disclose AI use?

Generative AI tools were used to assist with the creation and refinement of some pre-generated sound effects, 3D assets, 2D images, voice lines, and localization. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and integrated by the developer. The game does not use generative AI to create content during gameplay.

AI is used to translate the store page.

AI was used to tailor store page descriptions and grammar correct.

The ghost's voice lines, lullaby, screams, laughter and some sound effects were generated with AI audio tools (ElevenLabs). The store page description and the layout of the capsule art were prepared with the help of an AI assistant, using screenshots captured from the game. All 3D models, environments and animations are human-made assets licensed from the Fab marketplace.

During the R&D process, we used AI to assist with scriptwriting, but the content was still reviewed and polished by humans.

This game contains pre-generated AI content, all reviewed and edited by the developer: - Voice acting: every radio and PA line, in English and Turkish, is text-to-speech generated with ElevenLabs. - Audio: most sound effects and the three music beds were generated with ElevenLabs. - 3D art: some organic growth props were shaped with an image-to-3D pipeline (SDXL + Hunyuan3D), then UV-unwrapped, baked and finished by hand in Blender. - 2D art: the still images in the narrated opening were made with an image model. The game generates nothing with AI while it runs. The trailer, screenshots and capsule art on this page are in-game footage and in-engine captures.

The developer used generative AI to help write and translate (Japanese to English) the in-game and store page text. All text was reviewed and edited by the developer. No graphics, sound or music in the game are AI-generated, and no content is generated by AI while playing.

AI tools were used for some voice lines, some 3D props, and some textures.

Pre-generated AI was used to create selected 2D artwork included in the game, including a painting and menu imagery. All generated content was reviewed and selected by the developer before inclusion. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not connect to a live AI service.

Atomica's translations into the thirteen languages other than English were made by an AI language model and have not yet been reviewed by native speakers. Much of the game's code and the store text were written with AI assistance. Nothing else is AI-generated. The cell is assembled by ordinary procedural code, not machine learning, from real data: Scripps Research's cellPACK model of Mycoplasma genitalium, protein structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and ligands from the wwPDB Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD). The sounds are synthesized from the cell's real activity, and the store images are in-game screenshots.

This game uses generative AI tools during development to assist with the following content: text translation, sound effects, and background artwork assets

The translations into other languages were created with the help of AI tools. The game does not generate any AI content while you play.

AI tools were used in a limited capacity for a few prop images such as the photographs in the main house, and translation of some Javanese writings. All AI-assisted content was carefully reviewed and approved by humans to ensure it was appropriate and respectful, the final product is a reflection of our own cultural identity and creativity.

It Wants You To Stay was developed using generative AI tools, including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Meta Muse, Meshy, Scenario, Eleven Labs, Suno AI, ChatGPT, and Seedance. AI was used to create code, many of the 3D models, sound effects, music, and videos. The game also includes free-to-use, human-made 3D models, with credit given to their authors. I understand that some players feel strongly about AI in games, and I respect that. If you prefer not to support games made using AI, this title may not be for you. I’m sharing this openly so you can make an informed choice before buying. If you choose to play, I hope you’ll judge the experience it delivers—its atmosphere, gameplay, performance, and value. Honest feedback, including negative reviews, is welcome. I take responsibility for the game’s quality and will use that feedback to help improve it.

Pre-generated AI-assisted imagery is used for two in-game environment textures (an aged wall and a steel door surface) and for source artwork used in Steam store capsules. All outputs were reviewed and edited by the developer. The game does not generate content during play and does not connect to an external AI service.

Please note that non-Japanese localization is currently generated by AI. I plan to replace this with professional human localization in the future. Furthermore, one sound effect was created using AI. All other elements have been meticulously crafted by myself.

AI is used to create some of the images on the game's store page and in the library.

AI tools were used during development to assist with the creation of product box artwork and textures, as well as sound effects. All AI-assisted assets were reviewed and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.

AI assistance used for some visuals

Some assets in this game were created with generative AI during development: 3D models of characters and props (including some of their animations), and images such as textures and illustrations. All of them were selected and adjusted by the developers before being used in the game. No content is generated by AI while the game is running.

Some paintings and NPC textures in this game were generated using AI. These elements are used purely for visual and aesthetic purposes and have no impact on gameplay. There is no live or real-time AI generation during gameplay.

Artificial intelligence was used to generate our Steam achievement icons and some of our localizations. We're a small independent team of two self-taught developers. If you'd like to help us replace this content on a voluntary basis, please contact us on Discord or email us at contact@milkycocogames.com.

A small language model (Google's Gemma 3 270M) runs entirely on the player's computer, with no network connection. It writes short lines of villager small talk, the ritual oracle's one- or two-sentence hint after a failed ritual, and routine filler records in the in-game archive, and it chooses which of our pre-written dialogue lines fits the moment. Guardrails: the player never types to the model — there is no text input anywhere in the game. Every prompt is a fixed template we wrote, filled in from game state such as a character's name, the time of day and the current quest. Output is short by construction (hard token caps, and lines over a few words are cut or discarded); lines that read as narration, stage directions or an assistant speaking are rejected; dialogue choices are constrained to our own authored lines. Any failure falls back to written lines. Players can turn the model off in Settings, and the game plays identically on written lines alone.

Localization was also done via the help of AI

Generative AI was used during development to create select environmental artwork, including some fictional posters and signage appearing within the game. These assets were reviewed and curated by the developers before inclusion in the final game.

Part of the game's text, including the German, French and Spanish translations, and the store page descriptions were written with the help of AI tools. The paintings are public-domain works by real artists.

1% AI, 99% made by me

This game was made with the help of generative AI. AI tools were used during development to create visual assets, sound and music, parts of the source code, and the translations of this page and the in-game text. Everything was chosen, edited and assembled by hand before release. Nothing is generated while you play — all content ships with the game.

Generative AI was used only to create the Steam capsule. The screenshots and the game itself do not contain any content created using generative AI.

The altered paintings ("forgeries") were made by editing public-domain museum scans with generative AI image tools. Each one was reviewed by hand, colour-matched to its original scan and, where possible, composited back onto that scan so that only the altered detail differs. Some in-game English text (the questions that appear beside the paintings) and parts of this store description were drafted with an AI writing assistant and edited by the developer. The capsule art and screenshots are frames rendered by the game itself; the capsule art shows one of the AI-edited paintings. Nothing is generated by AI while the game runs.
