Hm. The publisher name is something in Japanese, but it also links to the curator page. That's the thing that really makes me wonder. Do most small-time publishing houses promote themselves on Steam as Steam curators? I thought publishers had a different kind of page.Publisher pages are used only, I think. Developer links just link to the publisher. That's why this game and Final Battle, obviously by the same developer, are listed as "Toothless T-Rex" and "Cherry Bloom", respectively.
When I think "curator," again, I think of a person independent of game developers who gives recommendations. There's an obvious conflict of interest for a publisher to be acting as if they're an independent person recommending games. However, if the curator paradigm is just how Steam handles publishers (really haven't bothered to check, it just seems wrong), then there's nothing weird about it.
