| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI voice for two cutscene characters and three store images, so some shipped content is AI-generated. The developer says no other AI was used, and the game has platformer/racing tags suggesting hand-built gameplay. Only one release in 12 months, so no volume pattern. Against: The game has zero reviews a month after release, which limits evidence of actual effort; the AI voice is in cutscenes players hear. |
