NTE: Neverness to Everness Faces Backlash Over AI Claims

NTE: Neverness to Everness, the supernatural open-world RPG from Hotta Studio, is embroiled in controversy following claims of undisclosed AI usage. Popular VTuber Ironmouse dropped her sponsored stream after her team was led to believe the game contained no AI elements. Fans have pointed out AI-generated assets, including billboards reminiscent of the anime film Weathering with You, raising concerns about transparency. The community is split, with some defending the game’s quality despite the alleged minor AI usage in background elements. Hotta Studio has not yet commented on the situation.
