I think Dark Coffee is stealing your game. It's called The Wintertime Chronicles where you play as Frank and you try to outrun your mafia past. The characters are parodies but the art style looks similar to yours as well. The name Dark Coffee is a nice touch Dark Cookie. Mocha Muse got handed creative control so maybe "chat" with them.

Sadly yes, Scooby as well.

Looking at some of the screenshots of their page, they're 100% using generative AI trained on Dark Cookie's artwork...

Even if it is AI generated it is still stealing the style. I don't know if there are any legal issues but in terms of looks it is a 100% Dark Cookie's style. You can say it was inspired or is a tribute, but bottom line is you still need permission from the source.

Yeah, that's my point, it's a cheap production that is using AI to steal Dark Cookie's art and regurgitate it into a shitty knockoff that uses the recognizability of their work to pull in suckers who don't know any better.

My issue is that even if Dark Cookie is busy, I feel that this needs to be addressed by Dark Cookie. A game dev should be active with their community.
