Why My Game Gets a Bad Rating, How to Find What's wrong There may be multiple reasons, but here’s a guide to help you understand why your game might receive a bad rating. FIRST CHECK First, consider the combination of genre, theme, art style, and viewpoint. While it's okay for these elements to be unconventional, make sure they're not completely mismatched. If your combination is totally off, then it might moderately affect your rating. So, it’s okay if things aren’t perfect—just avoid having completely mismatched combinations.

Previously, we used a mix of AI-generated art and manually created art for various visual elements such as Steam imagery and in-game assets. However, we have now replaced all AI-generated images with 3D renderings created entirely by our team. These new images are used across the Steam store, main menu, loading screens, and any other visual aspects of the game. In short, no AI images remain in the game—all visuals are original creations made by our talented team!
