About the Developer

PWOK Entertainment — Solo indie studio, Republic of Korea

This game was made for everyone.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some visual assets in this game (character portraits, backgrounds, CG images, and UI elements) were created using AI image generation tools (Midjourney, NijiJourney, and ChatGPT Images) during development. Video cutscenes were created using Higgsfield AI (Seedance 2.0).

All generated assets were manually refined by the development team.

No AI generates content in real-time during gameplay, and the game does not connect to any external AI services.
