While I want to believe the stated "no generative AI was used", the presence of mixels and heavy inconsistencies in art style to me say this wasn't made by a human.
Like what's going on with that chicken and the other stickers; they're beyond crunchy? Why do the book tabs have *three* different styles? Why does the art change so much between various elements? If you didn't make this solo, you might want to take a hard look at your artist, because there's red flags aplenty. :( Hopefully I'm wrong, but it's enough to make me not want to play this just in case it's slop.
thanks for pointing this out. I’ll check with the person who worked on those assets when I get the chance (they’re currently busy with their studies) and see what happened there.
The original assets and project files are also included in the game folder if you’d like to take a look.
Thanks for the feedback!
