Read the full disclosureQuoted from the Steam store page
The Darkened Northern Lights uses generative AI to help create some of the content that ships with the game:
Artwork: many of the game's pixel-art characters and graphics were made with the help of an AI art tool.
Sound: some of the game's audio was created with the help of AI.
Text and localization: parts of the game's text and its Finnish and English translations were produced with the help of AI.
All of this content was reviewed by the developer and is fixed - it does not change while you play. The game does not generate any content live during gameplay. An optional feature that generates extra storybook tales may be added in a future update; if so, this notice will be updated.
