| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states all artwork, including the Minor and Major Arcana cards and card backs, is AI-generated. Card art is the central visual asset of a card game, so AI covers a major asset type. Only one release in 12 months and no reviews yet, so volume-based mass-production signals are absent. Against: Only one game released in the last 12 months, so there is no pattern of high-volume releases; the game is also new with no reviews, so low-effort volume cannot be established. |
