| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI generation across several major asset types: art, character and background images, voice/audio, and partial text. That covers most of what a visual novel ships. The developer has only one release and 17 reviews, so there is no volume pattern to suggest mass production. Against: The developer says all AI content was manually reviewed, selected, and edited, and no AI runs live during play, which points to real curation effort rather than automated output. |
