| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure says AI was used for initial concepts and some game art, so some shipped assets are AI-influenced. The developer states final assets were hand-edited and curated, indicating real production effort. Only one release in the past year and 137 reviews at 89% positive show no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure claims all final in-game assets were hand-edited and curated, which could mean AI influence is limited to early concepts rather than shipped art. |
