| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses AI used for some artwork assets, so AI-generated art ships to players, but most of the game appears human-made. The studio's release pace and AI disclosures across its catalog are notable but don't establish this title as mass-produced. The curator note adds nothing beyond the disclosure. Against: No reviews yet, but the game is only 8 months old and the developer's output is under the 12-per-month threshold for high effort risk. |
