What the developer says
PLAYBACK contains pre-generated AI-assisted content. This includes certain in-game posters and artwork, achievement icons, Steam store artwork (including capsule and library assets), a video displayed in the main menu, and a small number of voice lines used during the end credits. All AI-assisted content was reviewed, edited, and curated by the developer before being included in the game.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI use across several asset types, but most are supporting elements like posters, icons, and store art rather than core gameplay content. The developer released only 2 games in 12 months, so volume signals don't indicate mass production. Low review count is noted but doesn't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Against: AI touches several asset categories including voice and a menu video, and the game has few reviews long after release, which could suggest limited production scope. |
