It's unclear whether the art is AI generated or directly stolen, but your comments and other reports have lead the moderation team to believe this game should be disqualified. Next year, please team up with an artist via our team finding channels.
You have some strong ideas in this game and it'd be nice to see them realised legitimately.

Thank you for letting me know.
I’m sad to hear about the decision, but of course I respect it. I would still like to clarify that the final artwork in my game was neither AI generated nor stolen. I did take inspiration from other sources, but I spent a considerable amount of time drawing and reworking the graphics myself. The four cutscene images in particular took much more work than I had originally planned.
One reason I was able to spend so much time on those images was that my own engine, which I had already developed for the previous jam, was very well prepared for this type of game. That gave me more time to focus on the artwork.
I understand that my earlier comments may have given the wrong impression, and I’m sorry I wasn’t clearer about my process.
Thank you for taking the time to review the game, and for your kind words about its ideas.
