| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to the intro cinematic and store capsule art, not in-game assets or live generation. Developer output is modest (one game in 12 months), with no sign of mass-produced volume. Real development effort is suggested by the co-op horror scope and edited assets. Against: Five of the developer's nine games disclose AI, which hints at a pattern, but that alone doesn't establish heavy AI use in this title. |
