Developer cancels public demo of its upcoming horror drinking game, fearing it will be instantly cloned by AI vibe coders: ‘We sincerely apologise for the short notice’

The developer of the upcoming horror drinking game *Booze Hunters* has cancelled a public demo, saying it fears AI “vibe coders” could quickly copy the game. The decision reflects concern among independent developers that showing an unreleased project could make it easier for others to reproduce its ideas.

The team apologised for the short notice and said it would instead share more information about the game at a later date. The article does not give a new demo date or detail specific evidence that the game had been copied; the cancellation is presented as a precaution.
