| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states some backgrounds use generative AI and the trailer song was made with Suno. The game has a physics sandbox with 11 reviews and 72% positive, and the developer has only one release, so there is no sign of mass-produced volume. AI covers limited asset types, not the core of the game. Against: The curator note repeats the store disclosure rather than adding independent evidence; most assets and gameplay appear conventionally developed. |
