| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to 2-3 textures in the main illustration, which is store/marketing art, not gameplay assets. The developer states no in-game graphics used AI. A curator note alleges AI textures and art but offers no specific checkable evidence beyond the developer's own statement. Against: The curator note claims AI textures and art were used in development, which could point to a wider scope than the disclosure admits. |

| Games That Use AI Generation Steam curator | “Development involved using gen AI textures & art. e: Developer has said no AI was used in making the game, only for the cover texture for the game. To clarify, no AI was used except when it was used.” |
