Twistingo: Hummingbird Haven Collector's Edition

Man... I don't know about this one. As far as I can tell, this game is awash with AI generated content, from scene backgrounds, character voices, normal assets, and even collectibles. Valve's AI generated content policy went effective for developers about a month [i]after[/i] this game was released, so it can skirt by without adding any disclaimers or other notices on the page.

Cute chill little game... the talking is a little long and drawn out, but tolerable. Puzzles are relaxing, and enjoyable. I enjoyed the changing games. Very pretty game. One play thru took approx. 3 hrs.

Fun and relaxing.
