| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe developer discloses that some level background images used Stable Diffusion, so AI content ships to players but is limited to one asset type. The game is a 3D arcade title with no signs of mass-produced volume; the studio has only one release. Zero reviews long after release is a mild concern but not enough for high effort risk. Against: No reviews 20 months after release could indicate low visibility or low effort, but there is no evidence of rapid volume releases or AI covering most asset types. |
