I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

Theatrical poster for "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," except the portrait of Laura Palmer is replaced with a Walkling from the game Big Walk, and the film name is replaced with "Big Walk with Me"

Could I get some support from fellow devs and creatives? We got a negative review on Steam for AI use... despite there being absolutely *no* AI use in our game. TL;DR? Give a chance to show that AI wasn't used, or you'll be harming the very same artists you claim to be helping.❤️

Some facts for your Friday: 1) Rosewater is a wonderful Western adventure told through the lens of an alternative history of the United States 2) It features a branching narrative that lets you be sinner or saint. 3) @grundislav.games is an amazingly talented writer and designer. Buy the game.
