| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI-generated videos appear for a limited in-game event (cartridge acquisition), a small supporting detail. The developer says all other content is developed in-house, and the game shows real development effort. Only one release in the last 12 months, so no volume-release signal. Against: The AI videos are visible in-game, so AI does ship to players, but only as a minor element rather than core content. |
