What other sources say
| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states generative AI was used for images modeled on the company's own art, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer has a long Steam history since 2017 and only two releases in the past year, not a volume pattern. A visual novel with a small but positive review count shows no signs of mass production. Against: AI use appears limited to images derived from the developer's own work, and the game has 100% positive reviews, suggesting real development effort. |
