| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure names AI use for audio and UI, which players hear and see, so scope is parts rather than none. The game has a distinct concept, exploration and story tags, and mostly positive reviews, suggesting real development effort. The developer's release pace is moderate, not mass-produced volume. Against: AI touches several asset types (music, sounds, UI), which could push scope higher, but art and core gameplay appear human-made. |
