| Source | Their take |

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states illustrations were created with AI-assisted tools, so some in-game art is AI-generated. The developer releases about one game every four months, not mass-volume, and the disclosure frames AI as support within human-led work. A curator's skeptical comment offers no checkable evidence beyond the disclosure. Against: Only illustrations are disclosed as AI-assisted; other asset types appear human-made, and release pace does not suggest volume production. |

| Games That Use AI Generation Steam curator | “Illustrations done with AI? Surely the mafia wouldn't support that. How can they run speakeasies and bootlegging operations when the AI causes such a drop in quality of the yield?” |
