| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states text-to-speech is used for voicing, a limited supporting element. The developer has released only one game, with 19 reviews and 89% positive, showing no volume-release pattern. No other AI-generated asset types are indicated. Against: Voice is an in-game asset players hear, so AI does ship to players, but it is a single supporting element rather than a major share of content. |
