| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states only artwork used generative AI, with hand-drawn originals curated and edited by the developer. No other content is AI-generated, and the developer has released no games in the past year, so there's no volume-release pattern. This points to limited AI use within a human-led production. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, so the actual extent of AI art in the shipped product can't be verified. |
