"The highest-rated game ever in Russia!" isn't exactly the kind of marketing hook that earns you big sales in the West. This is the section of the world notorious for producing games with great titles (The Stalin Subway?) and abysmal gameplay.

Katauri's new version ended up becoming an under-the-radar gem that deserves more attention from gamers than it will probably get.

If more people lurked the N4G forums then they would have known this hours ago. I snatched it literally 5 minutes before it vanished.
