The publisher of this is somewhat scummy* so I wouldn’t doubt whatever this is being completely planned/manufactured to get in the headlines. Or at least the idea being originally pushed by the publisher to “boost engagement” on Imgur/Reddit.
*= Publisher having a decent amount of games, using multiple accounts for unpaid self-promotion on Imgur (to the point I assume they either made devs do this or pretended to be them) on top of crowdfunding+early-access. Also one of the published games was de-listed on Steam temporarily due to a license dispute with the creator (who now has the rights).
Not familiar with the game or the publisher at all, but this definitely feels like engagement bait.
I remember seeing this game in Steam news and checked the reviews to see people absolutely tear the game to bits. People who liked the concept left feeling completely betrayed.
What reviews? The game isn’t out yet.
Maybe I’m confusing it with another product of similar nature, but if so then I don’t know what the other one was called.
