Fanart of Brok and company from Brok the Investigator game currently in development. This would gel with Cowcat's suggestion that the reviews are coming from a disgruntled key reseller who wants revenge for negative customer reviews. What's more, the curator groups handing out negative reviews to Brok the InvestiGator all share an admin, suggesting they were set up by the same individual. Most of the curators have a similar number of followers, suggesting bot inflation, and also share many of the same games in their recent review lists. There are a number of other similarities, too, including similar numbers of game reviews and similar positive to negative proportions. First, there's the fact that all of the curator accounts giving negative reviews were created around the same time most were created on September 17th last year, apart from one, which was made two days later on September 19th.

Cowcat says that many indie developers are sent lots of requests by supposed Steam curators for keys, but that these requests often come from key resellers looking to make a quick buck. The world and the characters feel unique and fresh, with a wonderfully drawn art style, interesting player choices and an intriguing story that left us wanting more.In a Twitter thread, Cowcat outlines their theory for why this might be happening. They also have a (already successfully funded) Kickstarter campaign: Here.Īsyr and I really enjoyed the prologue.
