| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI assisted with story text, translations, and sound effects, so some shipped content is AI-generated. That covers a few asset types but not most of the game, and the developer has only one release, so no volume pattern. Low review count is noted but doesn't meet the high-effort-risk threshold. Against: Only 2 reviews long after release and a single release could hint at limited effort, but there's no evidence of mass production. |
