| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states music is AI generated and actor voices are AI-altered, both of which players hear during play. Marketing images are also AI, though that alone would be minor. Only one release in 12 months and few reviews, so no volume pattern. Against: Voice alteration is a supporting treatment of human performances, and the developer has only one release, showing no mass-production pattern. |
