| Source | Their take |
|---|---|
| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped create or iterate on some pre-rendered visuals, supporting text, and marketing assets, so some shipped content is AI-assisted. It explicitly says no live generative AI during gameplay, and the developer reviews and integrates the output. Only one release in the past year, so no volume pattern. Against: No reviews yet and a very recent release give little signal on effort; the disclosure is broad and doesn't specify how much of the art or writing is AI-assisted. |
