Developer Lazy Flock is a two-person studio that's spent the past handful of years promoting an adorable horror game called Haunted Paws, where you and a co-op partner play as a pair of puppies trying to save your human pal from a haunted mansion. With Haunted Paws still without a definite release date, you might imagine the devs were quite surprised to find a game nearly identical in concept – just with kittens instead of pups – scheduled for release on the PlayStation Store later this month.
"THIS IS NOT A HAUNTED PAWS GAME. IT IS A DIRECT COPY," Lazy Flock says on Twitter, sharing an image of the PlayStation Store page for Ghostly Whiskers. "This is an unauthorized copy that steals our concept, visuals, and story, using AI-generated assets, releasing on the PlayStation Store."
