| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI generated the music, one asset type among several. The developer has released only one game in the last 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Art, writing and other assets are not disclosed as AI, and the game shows normal single-title development. Against: Only one review exists five months after release, which limits visibility into the full asset set. |
