| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI images appear in some notes, a small part of the game. The developer has only two releases, so no volume pattern. 24 reviews at 83% positive suggest a real, finished game rather than mass output. Against: AI-generated images are visible in-game, so scope is above none; only one of the developer's two games discloses AI. |
