| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure names only menu images and select sprites as AI-generated, with manual editing afterward, so AI covers a limited portion of shipped assets. The developer has released only 2 games in the last 12 months, which does not meet the volume threshold for high effort risk. Zero reviews 13 months after release is a weak signal, but the studio's release pace is not mass-production. Against: Zero reviews long after release and 3 of 5 studio games disclosing AI could suggest low engagement, but the release cadence is not high and the disclosure is narrow. |
