The Previous Owner uses generative AI as an assistive tool under human art direction and editorial control. The game's painted artwork — scene plates, room and prop textures, character and portrait art, the found photographs, the book spreads and the store art — was pre-generated with generative image tools, then curated, keyed, composited and hand-corrected by the developer; a small number of props are AI-generated 3D meshes, and some looping scene animations are AI-generated video. Music and sound effects are pre-generated with AI tools and edited by the developer. The narrative text is human–AI co-written under the author's direction and human-edited; the story, its structure and the game design are the author's. Everything ships pre-rendered in the build — the game generates nothing live during play. No real people are depicted; every character, book, photograph and document in the game is fictional.
