| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image generation was a supplementary tool for some in-game assets, so AI covers only part of the visuals. The developer has one release in the last 12 months, so there is no volume-release pattern. The curator note adds nothing beyond the disclosure. Against: The developer says generated images are reviewed and adjusted before use, suggesting human oversight; the game has 0 reviews five months after release, which limits evidence of effort. |
