| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to store page visuals, which are marketing assets rather than shipped gameplay content. No curator notes or other signals suggest AI in the game itself. The developer has only one game and no rapid release pattern. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and cannot be independently verified; a missing in-game disclosure does not prove absence of AI content. |
