| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states game assets were made with machine learning and then human-edited, so some in-game content is AI-generated. The developer has released only one game in the past year, so there is no volume-release pattern. Three reviews at 100% positive give no sign of low-effort mass production. Against: The disclosure emphasizes human review and editing, and the developer is a small independent studio with a single release, which points to limited rather than heavy AI use. |
