| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states placeholders were store-page only and have been removed, so nothing AI-generated remains in the shipped game. The game shows hand-crafted pixel art, a story-rich JRPG structure, and a single positive review, suggesting real development effort. The developer has released few games, with no volume-release pattern. Against: The disclosure is self-reported and cannot be independently verified; one of the developer's three games discloses AI, and the game has only one review. |
