I am incredibly skeptical. There are a lot of red flags here: * Huge incentive to keep getting positive results because money was/is needed * Higher ups insisting this is great and works before the science is finished - this can cause

The way I was taught is that TDD is writing a test, making it pass, repeat - the red-green-refactor cycle. Test first could include "write 200 tests that all fail, then write all the code to make them pass". Somewhat substantiated

Given that TDD is a subset of Test First, how can test first be dead but TDD be alive?

The game was not really that playable - you could boot up isolated levels, but it was completely unfinished. Huge chunks were missing. There's no way it would make a suitable replacement for the game that would be released much later.
