| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · mixed signals, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure covers AI-generated capsule/key art and ambient music, both player-visible, so scope is parts rather than none. Artwork was composed and cropped by hand and music edited, suggesting real post-processing effort. The studio's release pace and AI disclosures across its catalog raise volume concerns but don't meet the high-effort threshold. Against: The game is unreleased with no reviews, and the disclosure describes hand editing of AI outputs, which points to some production effort rather than pure generation. |
