|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI generated most narrative-mode images, later manually edited, plus AI-assisted translation. That covers some in-game assets, not the whole game. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Images were refined through manual editing, and the game has a single release with positive early reviews, suggesting real development effort. |
