Same. I was utterly heartbroken to realize that AI was used in development. This game is one I was going to be very excited for it to come out and see what the full game was going to be, but if the dev keeps with that path then I'll just have to let it go
And unfortunately unlike cozy games or party games (I refuse to call them Friend Slop), horror isn't a genre that can easily get away with choices that are starting to hurt sales.
