Alliance Arts, the studio behind the Russian roulette anime drinking game Drunken Goddess Reflux, canceled its planned public Steam demo. The developer said it feared the demo would be instantly cloned by AI vibe coders if released publicly. Instead, Alliance Arts will host closed sessions for the game and apologized to players for the short notice. The decision highlights growing anxiety among indie developers about AI tools being used to rapidly copy distinctive game concepts before they can establish themselves.
