| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for background art and certain icons, which players see, so scope is parts rather than none. Gameplay, logic, and writing are declared manual, and the game has 187 reviews at 75% positive, indicating real development effort. The developer released no games in the last 12 months, so volume signals don't support high effort risk. Against: Only 1 of the developer's 2 games discloses AI, and the studio is new (on Steam since 2025), so broader patterns are hard to establish. |
