AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

This game uses AI in two ways:

1. In-game content: An "AI employee" system is a gameplay feature — after researching a large language model in-game, players can hire AI staff as a cheaper alternative to human employees, at the cost of reputation and team morale. This is a fictional game mechanic, not generative AI at runtime.

2. Development tooling: Some placeholder art and music assets were iterated with the assistance of AI tools during development, then hand-edited and finalized by the developer. No live generative AI runs during gameplay; all shipped art and music are static, authored assets.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mature Content Description

This game depicts the stresses and failures of running a business — including bankruptcy, layoffs, employee burnout, and aggressive market competition. Characters face workplace pressure, job insecurity (including an "AI replacing workers" subplot), and financial ruin. There is no graphic violence, sexual content, or strong language. The game is a stylized pixel-art business simulation intended for a general audience interested in management/tycoon games.
