Are you from Germany? Just asking because according to Steam DB, the game's been removed from the Steam Store in Germany in particular, likely due to censorship laws regarding very specific historical unpleasantries (pure speculation though).

I think it has do do with this.
Let me just copy from another Comment:

Store page blocked in Germany [missing age rating]
Dear developers,

since November 15, 2024, german customers are no longer able to access storepages of games without a valid age rating.

To ensure that your games are visible / available for sale in Germany, you need to complete Steam's built-in content questionnaire.

Important:
You need to resubmit the content survey even if you already filled it out previously and everything is shown as OK. Otherwise no rating will be generated for Germany.

Here are the relevant links:

Official announcement from Valve:

Steamworks Development Announcement 14 Oct
Age Ratings Mandatory in German Store Starting November 15
As you may have heard, German regulators have specified that all games, regardless of when they were first published, must have an age rating in order to be offered to German customers via the Steam...


Thank you very much.
