| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states pictures were made with an AI pixel art generator, so some in-game visuals are AI-generated. The developer has released only one game, so there is no pattern of volume releases. Nine reviews at 100% positive suggest a small but real audience, and the disclosure frames it as a learning project. Against: Only pictures are disclosed as AI-made; writing, design and other content appear human-made, and the single release with positive reviews points away from mass production. |
