Reasoning

The disclosure states AI supported some textures, sounds and minor visuals, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. It also says content was manually reviewed and edited, and no live AI generation occurs. The developer released one game in the last 12 months, so volume signals don't support high effort risk.

Against: Only 2 reviews long after release could suggest limited polish, but the developer's release pace is low and the disclosure describes manual editing.
