This game looked like a scam before release. The developers copied art style and their trailer scenes from other games, and never shown gameplay videos. In the trailers it looked like AAA, but was developed by a studio without required experience. There were doubts the game existed at all. Well, it existed, but was far from what trailers shown.

I think it didn't actually exist, what we have been shown is something that they quickly cooked up to avoid lawsuits

I think this 100%

I remember like a week after the first trailer dropped some YouTube dude made a video saying it was sus and wondered if it was real. I can't remember their arguments, as of was a while ago, but they were convincing.

Also, for how long it was supposedly in development, what they released doesn't even make sense... Like it kind of looks like a hobbiest could make that on their own pretty quickly (assuming they used free/bought assets)
