3. How Game Images Are Used

Game screenshots and development images illustrate the systems discussed in the guides. Captions identify official development images and screenshots captured from the public prototype. Game artwork remains the property of its creators; this fan site does not claim ownership or endorsement.

The playable game theater featured on this website connects directly to the public WebGL release hosted on the official itch.io distribution network (itch.zone). We do not decompile, reverse-engineer, redistribute, or sell the game binaries. All rights, revenue, and player credit belong entirely to the original development team.
