| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers only images such as the Steam cover, which are store and marketing assets, so AI scope stays minor. The developer has released only 2 games in 12 months, below the volume threshold for high effort risk. Low review count and 0% positive are noted but don't by themselves establish mass production. Against: All 4 of the developer's games disclose AI, and this one has only 2 reviews months after release, which could hint at low-effort output, but the release pace doesn't meet the high-risk bar. |
