This week in PC games: solve the disappearance of 700 people, build a night market for spirits, and play chess on a board that disobeys physics

Rock Paper Shotgun's weekly roundup featuring new PC releases such as “The Maw,” “Night Market for Spirits,” and “Quantum Chess” highlights a surge in indie titles that integrate AI-driven procedural generation and adaptive difficulty. This trend means website owners of gaming portals, forums, and digital storefronts will see a spike in AI bot traffic as developers embed chat‑enabled NPCs and recommendation engines that crawl and index sites for real‑time content updates. For site operators, the influx of AI bots can inflate analytics, skew SEO metrics, and potentially breach licensing terms if bots scrape game assets or metadata without permission. It also raises the risk of unintended exposure to user‑generated content that may not comply with existing llms.txt directives, especially when AI‑powered demos pull external resources. **Actionable tips:** 1. Update your llms.txt file to explicitly disallow bots from accessing “/demo/,” “/beta/,” and any AI‑generated content endpoints, using `User-agent: *` and `Disallow: /demo/`. 2. Deploy a bot‑tracking solution that flags traffic with high request rates to AI‑specific URLs (e.g., `/api/ai‑npc/`) and set rate limits or CAPTCHA challenges for those agents. 3. Regularly audit your server logs for new user‑agent strings tied to emerging game AI frameworks and add them to your robots.txt or llms.txt as needed to maintain control over crawler behavior.
