Does anyone know what happened to Project Downfall? I don't see it listed on GOG anymore.

quick search got me this: https://delistedgames.com/project-downfall/

"Project Downfall was delisted from the Nintendo eShop and the Xbox Store on February 9th, 2024, after just a week of availability. The Steam and GOG releases would eventually follow on the 23rd and the 26th of February, respectively. When asked for comment by TrueAchievements user Escaflowne01, the game’s console publisher RedDeerGames replied:

“Hey!

We just wanted to let you know that we’re aware that Project Downfall has become temporarily unavailable on digital distribution platforms. The reason behind this is that some key important changes have to go under review and recertification.

Right now, our top priorities are updating the game so that it can become available as soon as possible in digital stores again. The process shall not impact players who have already purchased the game. In case of any issues – let us know.”

So hopefully the game will be back in the near future.
Project Downfall – Removed from sale in Europe.

While unspecified in this email, it’s likely that this recertification was prompted by the player character’s close resemblance to John Wick in appearance. It is to be assumed that a re-release of the game will result in a redesign of the player character in-game and in promotional artwork."

Thanks for the info!

Hopefully GOG will be able to get the game back!

i think it'll be some time at least - assuming the dev(s) / studio are willing to change the game suitably (yeah its rather too "keanu" in john wick looking at times), they'll have to change quite a bit including UI elements.
could be a pain in the arse for a small team.
Good time to save a backup copy, before the changes are made. Not saying they are necessarily a bad thing, but it's good to keep it for comparison.
