I would guess the blood. Germany has some really weird censorship laws.
No, Germany just requires that all games have an age rating. If a publisher can’t be bothered to even click through a short questionnaire on Steam, they don’t care about about any customer.
Germany straight up bans many video games. Here is a partial list. This game has much more obvious blood than many already banned in Germany. This is the chilling effect in action, it keeps many works, even those not explicitly banned, out of the market.
This game was delisted because it lacks the age rating. For “harmless” games the questionnaire is enough, for “gore” games Valve wants an USK rating, presumably to be not liable in court. This game is not on the index of banned games: https://www.schnittberichte.com/svds.php?Page=Indizierungen&Kat=Games
The game was free before 14 November 2024 (delist day on Steam). I got it then.
Edit: They seemingly delisted the game on their own one month before delist day: https://steamdb.info/changelist/25752421/
