The more I scratch the surface, the more this turns into a shit-show.

From what I can see - GSC Game World (Ukrainians) issued a takedown of game using similar themes and imagery of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. called Misery (Russian). Similar titles have not been taken down the same way.

Looking into the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. subreddit suggests this is some Russia/Ukraine nonsense.

The devs of Misery are begging their fans not to get into it with GSC Game World while they work through this.
