| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI prepared textures and sprites but that these were replaced by actual artwork, so shipped AI content appears limited. The developer has few releases and only one review, but no evidence of mass-produced volume. Curator note only repeats the disclosure. Against: The replacement claim is unverified, so some AI-derived assets may still ship; 4 of 5 studio games disclose AI. |
