| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used to optimize image materials at roughly 30%, so some shipped art is AI-touched. The scope is limited to art optimization, not writing, audio, or core generation. The studio has few releases and only one AI-disclosing title, so no volume pattern. Against: Only 5 reviews long after release, but the studio has just two games, so this doesn't indicate mass production. |
