This line feels disjointed, like some text was cut before it? Yes, it was the game stolen from, but even then...
A cursory search reveals that it's available for PC and android, and made by Dieselmarine which doesn't seem to have relations to AlphaGames as far as I can find. A bit hard to find more on the subject, the game is only in Japanese, and searching Japanese seems to be the only thing that gives any results...
Also, it's Marionette Eden.

Wish there was more to this article because it makes me curious. It seems a bit too random to just happen to have assets from another game. Did they get caught reusing assets from another game?

Its pretty much that but they wont admit it publicly, it is pretty shady but a common practice that a lot of these game types would copy paste existing game models ands remodel them as a cheap alternative and save costs. It is also one of the many reason why the majority of these don't last long and are shut down as they really don't offer anything new from each other. except dif skin change at the surface level

It's fairly common practice among smaller studios to use assets from other games as test models. If it stays internal, it's not like it matters, and it lets you test professional looking models instead of rudimentary test ones without having to dedicate anytime to making them. If you dig into Genshin's files, you can find models from Transformers games that they used to test large robot enemies.
Of course, there's a difference between deeply hidden test files and actually making it somewhere the customer can see.
