| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI-assisted tools were used for some character portraits, which players see, so scope is parts. Portraits were manually edited afterward, and the game is a full deckbuilder with strategy systems, suggesting real development effort. The studio has only one release, so no volume pattern. Against: Only one review and 0% positive long after release could hint at low effort, but a single release gives no evidence of mass production. |
