Nuked Red candle games, the Taiwanese studio whose first-person horror game devotion has been unavailable to buy following controversy over a reference to Chinese premier XI Jinping, has put its games up for sale on its own online store. Devotion and the studio’s first game detention are available to buy now without DRM.
Devotion was pulled from steam shortly after its launch in February 2019. Users noticed an in-game poster that read, roughly,’XI Jinping Winnie-the-Pooh moron’. The game was critically lauded for its atmosphere and originality.
