| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI is used to render certain images, so some shipped visuals are AI-generated. The developer has released few games and none in the past year, with no sign of mass-produced volume. Only one review exists, but there is no evidence AI covers most asset types. Against: The disclosure is vague about which images are AI-rendered and whether they are in-game or marketing assets; the curator note only repeats the disclosure. |
