| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe store disclosure states AI assistance was used in some visuals, so some shipped assets are AI-generated. The developer has no releases in the last 12 months, so there is no volume-release signal. The game is unreleased with no reviews, leaving effort hard to gauge. Against: The disclosure is limited to 'some visuals', and the game is a small free desktop companion, which points to limited AI scope rather than heavy generation. |
