| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI was used for character artworks, so some in-game art is AI-generated. The developer released 7 games in 12 months and most disclose AI, but that alone doesn't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Zero reviews 11 months after release is a weak signal given the small scope. Against: Only character art is disclosed as AI; the rest of the game's assets and design show no stated AI use, and the release count is below the 12-per-year threshold. |
