| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for background art and early character concepts, with drawn enhancements afterward. This covers only part of the visual assets, and the developer has a single release with no volume pattern. One review long after release is thin but not evidence of mass production. Against: Only one review 15 months after release, so player reception is largely unknown; the disclosure is limited in scope. |
