Reasoning

The disclosure limits AI to cutscene backgrounds and store/menu backgrounds, so most in-game assets are not AI-generated. The developer has released only two games, both disclosing AI, with no volume-release pattern. Zero reviews 20 months after release is a weak signal but not enough for high effort risk.

Against: No reviews long after release and a small, new developer catalog could suggest limited production effort, but there is no evidence of mass-produced volume.
