| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI made character art/videos and some interface artwork, so AI content ships to players. Story text, card design and game systems are credited to the developer, and environments are Unreal-rendered, showing real production work. Only one release with 3 reviews, so no volume-release pattern. Against: A Steam curator says AI voice-over audio was also used, which the disclosure does not mention; if true, AI scope could be broader. |
