What other sources say
| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses AI for images, music, and translations, so AI content does ship to players. The game is a text-based interactive fiction with multiple endings, and the AI covers supporting assets rather than the core writing. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure covers several asset types (images, music, translations), which could push scope higher, but the game's core is text-based and no evidence suggests AI-generated writing. |
