What the developer says
The game uses a local LLM vision model to power a backend, which handles sketch recognition. No data is stored or saved anywhere but locally, and any data stored is necessary to the gameplay. No analytics are performed beyond basic geometry and visual checks needed to assess drawings for specified gameplay criteria.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states a local LLM vision model handles sketch recognition, an in-game mechanic players interact with. That makes AI a functional part of play, not just store assets. The developer has few releases and no volume pattern, so effort risk stays low. Against: AI is used for a narrow recognition backend rather than generating art, audio, or writing; the game is unreleased with limited signals. |
