| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI generated several theme background artworks, so some in-game visuals are AI. The core game is a chess implementation, which is not AI-generated content. The developer releases frequently and discloses AI on all titles, but the game has few reviews and no evidence of mass-produced asset coverage. Against: The developer's release pace (8 games in 12 months) and universal AI disclosure suggest volume-oriented production, though this game's AI use appears limited to background art. |
