Starsand Island Allegedly Hit by ‘Overpraise’ Attack on Steam

People quickly noticed something strange about the reviews for Starsand Island on Steam. Some positive reviews came from players who hadn’t spent much time with the game—less than 10 minutes—and others appeared right when the game launched. Fans and social media users pointed out these odd activities, with some accusing the developer, Seed Sparkle Lab, of manipulating the reviews. However, the studio’s response suggested a much more interesting explanation was coming.
