| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for in-game icons, item art, and backgrounds, so AI content ships to players. These are supporting visual assets rather than the whole game, and the developer has only one release, so no volume pattern. No live generation is claimed. Against: Only 4 reviews shortly after release, so limited player feedback; the game is a single release with no sign of mass-produced output. |
