| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe developer discloses generative AI for the main menu artwork only, a limited store/menu asset. No other AI content is declared, and the game shows normal development signals. Four releases in 12 months is notable but below the high-risk threshold. Against: Four games in 12 months, all disclosing AI, and zero reviews six months after release could suggest low-effort volume, but the disclosure limits AI to menu art. |
