The author labels the HTML5 release as a prototype and discloses AI assistance for code and graphics, describing Dreamlayer use for concept art and sprites. This is not a browser port of a commercial game, nor evidence that the whole game was generated by AI. The separate 112 MB download is concept art and STYLE.md, not a file we needed to start the checked browser scene.
