Because that happened to me.
The game I got seems like it is, in and of itself, fine. It’s early release, so maybe ahem “troubling” content will show up later in the game. But as for that company’s earlier games

A far-right German group has taken a novel approach to recruiting supporters, releasing a free-to-download video game in which the characters kill antifa and confront George Soros and Angela Merkel as they battle with globalists.
The game – Heimat [Homeland] Defender: Rebellion – was released by Ein Prozent, a nationalist network that’s under observation as a suspected extremist group by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency. It’s set in what the game’s creators describe as a “gloomy future vision of a Europe that we will hopefully never see,” where a sinister corporation called “Globo-Homo Inc” has taken power, and antifa zones have sprung up across the Continent.
Players can choose to play as one of a number of “influencers” from the German-speaking far-right scene, including Martin Sellner, an Austrian leader of the youth-focused Identitarian movement, and Alex “Malenki“ Kleine, a prominent Identitarian YouTuber.
Gameplay includes Easter eggs with explicit references to German far-right figures such as the influential ideologue Götz Kubitschek, and to the killing of George Floyd, in a passage where players are asked why there is no equivalent outcry over the killing of a German teenager by a migrant. It features the hashtag #NiemalsaufKnien (“Never on our knees”), an Identitarian campaign launched in response to Black Lives Matter, which dismissed the movement as a front for “anti-white racism and left-wing self-hatred ideologies”.

We identified that Kvlt Games, in contrast to earlier extremist video games, intentionally sacrificed political messaging and ideology for more obscure satire, pop culture references, and memes to avoid identification and moderation. This method appears to be effective, as Kvlt Games’ more overtly extremist first game, Heimat Defender, was quickly identified as hateful and harmful and removed from popular gaming platforms. Conversely, The Great Rebellion launched on 1 February 2024, and as of September 2024 was still available for download on gaming platforms. The game features anti-vaccine, anti-Black, anti-transgender, pro-white, and anti-technology themes and promotes a “restoration” of Europe.
The founder of Kvlt Games maintains connections to several extremist organizations, including the Identitarian Movement and Ein Prozent. We identified Kvlt Games’ headquarters located in the same building as an Identitarian Movement social club, Castell Aurora. Furthermore, Ein Prozent, a German anti-immigrant organization, funded Kvlt Games’ first video game, Heimat Defender.
I learned about the game I was playing, Direvold, in this video (starts at 00:06:46 if I messed up the imbed)
