| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI made several theme background artworks, so some in-game visuals are AI-generated while core gameplay is conventional. The developer has 8 releases in 12 months and all 15 games disclose AI, but this title has 30 reviews at 86% positive, not the low-review pattern needed for high effort risk. The curator note is an allegation without checkable evidence. Against: Only background art is disclosed as AI; gameplay and other assets appear human-made, and review reception is reasonably positive. |
