Of course it isn't available here. It has a Japanese publisher. The majority of them will not release PC games here, especially on Steam. Only ones that do are Bethesda Japan (all games so far), Capcom (limited selection compared to other regions), and Square (limited selection compared to other regions). SEGA*, Namco, Konami, won't release anything.

* Technically, there are 4 or 5 SEGA games on Steam in Japan (this does not include the old Genesis games of which all but the last collection were released, ie. the Japanese RPGs are not available), but all have had reference to SEGA removed from the store pages.

As I have said many times, Japan has the largest number of regional restrictions. The majority because of publishers. A few because CERO ratings have been demanded by Valve (and are not needed) and none because they are "banned" - and this includes Dead Space, while not available on Steam here, it is sold on Origin. It was also never banned despite claims in some EA advertising. They simply chose never to release it on consoles and avoided the need to submit it to CERO.
