| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI text-to-speech is used for character voiceovers, a supporting in-game asset type. The developer released one game in the last 12 months and has a long Steam history since 2017, showing no volume-release pattern. Reviews are limited but positive, with no signs of mass production. Against: Only 12 reviews 11 months after release, so player feedback is thin; AI voice work is still a noticeable in-game element. |
