| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI altered a real voice actor's recorded performance and generated store-part text, both player-facing. These are limited, supporting elements rather than core content. The developer has one game, 92 reviews, and no rapid-release pattern, so effort risk is low. Against: All acting was performed by a human voice actor and only the voice was transformed; the AI text covers minor item descriptions, not narrative. |
