| Source | Their take |

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: minor · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure limits AI to the logo and store page assets, which are marketing materials rather than in-game content. The curator note matches this and adds no further claims. Two releases in 12 months is not high-volume, and the game shows normal development effort. Against: Only 4 reviews with 50% positive after 5 months, which is limited feedback but not evidence of low-effort volume. |
