is this a joke?

[W.A. the Anum]

I mean we all should know by now how "good" (ahem...) this game actually is...right?

This feels like a meme, a cash grab or how ever people call that nowadays. Srsly, why is that "now" on steam? For the memes? than, to bad, its like what? 7 bucks for such bad joke?

This is sketchy release.
I checked the domain of the publisher and it was registered 22 march 2025 with the shortest lease time on the domain which is 1 year and is registered in china and hosted on alibaba cloud.
Any serious company would have as long of a lease time on the domain to limit the chances of you losing it when it is time to renew it. just look at battle.net which does not expire until 2031.
Also, if you try to go to support or contact on their website it sends you to a forms.office.com instead of using a builtin on their site.
Another weird thing is that there is no forward face of the company on their site anywhere like owner of the company or where they are having their headquarter.
Their website is http://margariteentertainment.com/
They dont even use https on this site.
Edit; its seems they do have https but it defaults to http if you just use margariteentertainment.com. To get to the https you need to add it yourself.

This person is NOT the developer or publisher of this game.

All sources is just quoting this so called new company statement and not verifying anything. In their press release they do say they got the rights, but does not elaborate on who they got the rights from. instead they give thanks for someone who made a video for them and SteamGridDB for some altered box art.
link to where the few news outlets who reported on this got information about this game: https://steamcommunity.com/app/3598130/discussions/0/595144212454872513/

Margarite Entertainment needs to release information on whom they got the rights from to the public or else it just looks like a scam where they took something that is abandoned and repackaged it in unreal engine before selling it for profit.
