| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe store disclosure states some background images come from Doubao AI, so a portion of in-game art is AI-generated. The developer has only one release, so there is no pattern of volume output. Reviews are few but the game is only two months old, so that alone does not indicate low effort. Against: Only backgrounds are disclosed as AI; story, dialogue and other assets appear to be made by the developer, and the release cadence shows no mass-production pattern. |
