| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states only some sound effects use AI, a limited supporting asset type. The developer has released two games in twelve months, not enough for high volume. Six reviews with 100% positive and a specific genre mix suggest a small but real production. Against: All three of the studio's games disclose AI, which could hint at a pattern, but there is no evidence of mass production here. |
