| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI creates select comic-style images for story moments, a limited portion of in-game assets. The developer curates and integrates them, and only one game exists with no volume-release pattern. No reviews yet, so effort signals are thin but not indicative of mass production. Against: Zero reviews six months after release and a single-game developer history leave little evidence of overall production effort. |
