The reality of the situation is that most of the company's sales comes from the Chinese market, which is the reason why there are so many negative reviews. You need ownership of the game to post a Steam review. This situation could be alleviated if other people buy the game because it has English translations.
The reason for anger I've heard from Chinese gamers is that they turned this issue political whereas in the past games didn't involve politics and they're pissed that their apolitical space has been invaded. As well, streaming the game has gotten Chinese game-streamers in trouble or having to take down their streams/videos.

you can read the Chinese comments yourselves, they're well-written in English

- ladygungun 8y agohey, are you ok? The reality is that the game had sold over one million copies, and while it does has English translation and gained some popularity in other regions, the rest of the sales had gone to Chinese gamers whom bought the game just to leave negative reviews on Steam. Set other games and other studios aside, Red Candles had always been political, their first hit, the Detention, presented the horror and surreal reality of authoritarian KMT regime in Taiwan. The Chinese gamers should have clear sense of what they are engaging with.
