Notability

Is this really notable at the moment? All the sources in this article are from 3 or 6 March, so this topic doesn't seem to have attained sustained coverage. KnowDeath (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

You'd have a point if every source in the article wasn't WP:SIGCOV. When notability is demonstrated, it is not temporary. It clears the bar as much as a lot of other 3-4 review indie games. λ NegativeMP1 01:28, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Server stress?

Does anyone from Wikipedia architecture teams know if this website is causing undue stress to Wikipedia servers, or if they've created their own offline database? I'm worried as this game is gaining popularity. Nire46 (talk) 16:26, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

According to the dev it's not re-querying WP. ~ A412 ^talk! 16:30, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
