tfw you're making a dystopian sci-fi mystery indie game and the industry forces you to add disclaimers that should've gone without saying but they clearly don't anymore

The screenshot of the splash screen of my game Artificial Selection reads:
Disclosure: Every part of this game was created by human brains, without any generative assistance. We do not want to contribute toward developments that lead to the future depicted in this game.

Fun fact: some of the company policies that show up in Artificial Nexus are from actual companies that I've worked at! Why yes, I did leave those places as soon as I could; why do you ask? #visualnovel #vndev

Yet Another Killing Game @soulseerstudios.com · 08/01/2025

"Yet Another Killing Game" releases later this month so we will soon be unable to use the #WishlistWednesday tag 😥 This was a long journey that began with a rough prototype in 2022, and we're now in 2025, ready to share a vision conceived so long ago. Please cheer us on as we cross the finish line!

Comparison image of screenshots from the original prototype of "Yet Another Killing Game" back in 2022, and the upcoming full release version for 2025. The dialogue line for both screenshots is "Hey now! She only just woke up! Let's take it easy with the questions."

📣✨ In just a week, it's finally here: The FINAL content update for the Artificial Selection demo! At that point, it will contain: - 1 full route - 2 romance options (1 guy & 1 girl) - 4 escape rooms That's 10+ hours of FREE mystery #visualnovel goodness, so please spread the word and stay tuned!

In-game screenshot of Artificial Selection: A character named Effera pulls two others into a group hug, thinking "I love you guys..."

A chibi illustration demonstrating a clothes swap: A tall, muscular man is vacuum-sealed in a much shorter guy's sweater and says "I suppose I must thank you for wearing slightly oversized clothes."

A screen displaying a free-time event with various possible locations to go and characters to talk to.

A scene where Saeva corners Effera and grabs her wrist. He says "I'm sorry, I don't know what I..." and trails off. The screen displays only one choice: "Let her go".
