| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for some textures, translations, and code, so AI content ships to players but doesn't cover most asset types. The developer has only one game, released 13 months ago, so there's no pattern of volume releases. Low review count is noted but doesn't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Against: Only one review and 0% positive, and AI involvement in code could touch core systems, though textures are described as only 'some'. |
