| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for NPC voices and achievement images, both player-visible, so scope is parts. The developer has released no games in the last 12 months and this title is not yet out, so there is no volume signal. A solo developer using local tools for limited assets suggests real effort rather than mass production. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, so the full extent of AI use in shipped content cannot be verified. |
