I'm not sure if it's me but Neeko's sprite looks heavily AI generated. Please don't say the game is going to use AI now since I love the art style of the game. Not trying to start hate towards the game.
I mean... I haven't gotten to far in, only just started it up, but some early on stuff had me curious to see if they had a site, which is when I noticed they have an ad on this page for their "novels" done using ai... so chances are fairly high. Also saw some other comments saying newer stuff looked ai generated.
