| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some in-game graphics and character portrait art, so AI assets ship to players. Most of the game appears human-made, with a designer finishing the AI art. The developer releases about 4 games a year and only a small share of their catalog discloses AI, so volume signals are weak. Against: Only 5 of 50 games disclose AI, and 141 reviews with 64% positive suggest a real shipped product rather than a mass-produced release. |
