| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mass-produced signs, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states some assets used generative AI, hand-finished by the developer, so AI covers parts of the game. The studio released 13 games in 12 months and all 22 of its games disclose AI, a volume pattern. Zero reviews two months after release adds to the low-effort signal. Against: The disclosure says assets were curated and hand-finished, and no content is generated during play, which points to limited rather than core AI use. |
