| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states Dall-E was used for icons and pictures, which players likely see, so AI scope is at least parts. The developer has only one recent release and a small catalog, so there is no volume-release pattern. Twelve reviews with 33% positive is weak reception but not evidence of mass production. Against: Only icons and pictures are mentioned, suggesting limited AI use rather than core content; the studio has just one game in the last 12 months. |
