This game needs an age rating in Germany.
Starting November 15, any game released on Steam will be unavailable in Germany if the store page lacks an age rating. It needs to be either USK's or Steam's built-in age rating.

You can read more about the change in here:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4678768276768588864

For those who live outside of Germany, you can check if a game has an age rating on a store page by opening the store page in a web browser (while not being logged into Steam) and adding the following country code at the end of the URL:
?cc=de

Since there is only two weeks left, it will be interesting and very sad at the same time to read news about the change once it actually becomes reality.

This game is not that shocking or intense, only thing even remotely adult about it is fighting and possibly killing other soldiers (altho we see no real proof that alyssa's team is killing dudes or just knocking them out). The solution would be the dev make this a E-T rating. Also I don't get whats wrong with germany being against art and free speech. There's some shocking games out there, but this game is an example of how this unfair rule is going to hurt indie games that are not bad at all. If the dev/publisher still comes here I hope they get on this fast and put a reasonable age rating on it so people can continue to purchase it. I really think this games fine for all ages I have not seen anything even remotely messed up about this games story. There's not even any romance or sexual tension between any of the characters, that I know of.

it is now vanished for germany, until the devs fill out the survey, there is only one word that exactly describes this BUREACRAZY(no typo!)
Every Game/Demo/DLC etc. has to have a USK Age Rating for our dang Gov.

Here are the relevant links:
