| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to topic selection for dialogues, a supporting writing aid rather than shipped generated assets. The developer has one release, so no volume pattern exists. Only one review after a month is thin evidence but not a mass-production signal. Against: Dialogue is central to a story-rich game, so AI involvement in topic selection could touch more of the writing than 'minor' implies; review count is too low to judge reception. |
