| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI-powered tools are used in content creation but that core elements are still made by people. This points to limited AI involvement in some assets rather than the whole game. Large review volume and a single release suggest substantial development effort. Against: The disclosure is vague about which specific assets are AI-generated, so the exact scope is uncertain. |
