Game appears to fail WP:GNG. While it got decent mentions in both Rock Paper Shotgun and PCGamesN, both are by the same author at the same time. The only other major coverage it received was in 4Gamer. There is an article about a controversy regarding the game's developers that happened about a year after release, but it is debatable whether it really addresses the game, being almost entirely about the developers' views. This is a highly unusual case, but I don't think it passes the notability bar. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:39, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While the controversy was not UNrelated to the game by virtue of me seeing people talk about how it should be boycotted, that's pretty tenuous. It seems like a pretty trivial game. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:NOTINHERITED non-notable WP:SINGLEEVENT controversy unrelated to the game. –Vipz (talk) 01:41, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the controversy received minor coverage, and the game even less. It fails the WP:GNG. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:09, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
