Rado Klasa accuses Potato Please of AI clone of 1,000,000 Potatoes

• Both games revolve around peeling potatoes in a Soviet-style military setting and are described in coverage as horror-adjacent.
• The account behind Potato Please denies the accusation and says the project came together independently from a potato meme and video in the community.

What happened

Indie developer Rado Klasa posted about 1,000,000 Potatoes on July 25, 2026, a game in which players must hand-peel 1,000,000 potatoes inside a cold Soviet-style warehouse. In that post, he called it a “dumb little game” and linked it to the GMTK Game Jam 2026.

On September 21, 2026, Klasa then said his game jam concept had been copied and “shipped” before he could finish his Steam page. In his post, he also claimed the other game was likely made largely with “a simple AI prompt” and shared a comparison between his own build and the other title.

The game he was referring to is Potato Please, an upcoming title from Golden Horn Studios. The official Potato Please account responded the same day and denied that the team had seen Klasa’s game before. According to that response, Potato Please came together independently from a potato meme and video that were popular in their community.

IGN described both games as first-person, physics-based titles about peeling potatoes, set in a Soviet-style military environment with a horror-like tone. Based on the available sources, it is not confirmed whether Potato Please was actually made with AI, or how much overlap there is beyond the shared core idea.
