| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses limited AI use for minor text responses during gameplay. That is a small, supporting element rather than a major asset type. One release in 12 months and a small but positive review base show no volume-release pattern. Against: A Steam curator repeats the minor-text claim, but it adds no independent evidence; the disclosure itself is the only source. |
