| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states ElevenLabs TTS provides voicelines in tutorial and campaign missions, a limited supporting audio element. The rest of the game's art, design and writing appear human-made. The developer has released one game in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Against: Voice acting is a player-facing asset type, but it is confined to tutorial and campaign lines and can be turned off. |
