| Source | Their take |

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states only a few background images used AI, later manipulated with drawn elements. That is a limited portion of in-game art, with the rest made by people. The developer has one game, no rapid release pattern, and positive reviews. Against: Only 4 reviews long after release, so limited player feedback; the curator note adds nothing beyond the disclosure. |
