| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states every image in the game and store page is AI-generated, covering the main visual asset type for a visual novel. Only two games released in 12 months, so no volume-release pattern. Zero reviews four months after release adds some risk but doesn't meet the high-effort threshold. Against: Only two games in 12 months and a single asset type (images) disclosed; text and other content may be human-made. |
