| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers only update menu icons, a small UI detail, so AI scope is minor. The game is a 3D tower defense title with a single release and no sign of volume output. Low review count is noted but does not meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Against: Only 7 reviews at 57% positive 28 months after release could suggest limited production effort, but there is no evidence of mass release or broad AI use. |
