| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI image tools were used for some key art and illustrations, which players see. No real-time AI generation occurs during play. The developer has only two games, both disclosing AI, and released none in the past year, so no volume-release pattern. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, and the disclosure limits AI to some art assets, suggesting most of the game is human-made. |
