| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states multiple visible asset types (portraits, prerenders, key art, scare screens) are AI-rendered, covering most of the visual content. The developer has only one game and no high-volume release pattern, so effort risk stays medium rather than high. Few reviews long after release is a mild concern but not enough for high risk. Against: The developer says some AI content may be replaced with human-drawn art before final release, and the game is a single release from a small studio rather than a volume operation. |
