| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for text adaptation, a limited in-game element. The developer has released only one game, so there's no pattern of volume releases. Few reviews and low positivity don't by themselves indicate mass production. Against: Only 3 reviews with 33% positive long after release could hint at limited effort, but there's no evidence of AI covering most asset types or rapid release volume. |
