- Alliance Arts announced that the demo scheduled for Monday, October 19, would not be publicly available.
- The developer fears AI or other tools could quickly imitate the presentation and gameplay, with copies appearing before launch.
- Sharing and streaming restrictions were initially planned, but the current team concluded it could not properly enforce them.
- Instead, limited online sessions are planned; applicants must accept participation and gameplay-footage rules through Discord.
We're concerned that the demo's content could be used to quickly imitate or replicate the game's presentation and gameplay with AI or other tools, and that such works could be released before our launch.— Alliance Arts explained in a public statement.
