Road to Gelendzhik Palace is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", INFINITE BRIDGE, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/tower-defence-template-75770]Tower Defence Template[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Keeree Games, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work.
INFINITE BRIDGE has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:

It gets worse... "Tower Defence Template" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from INFINITE BRIDGE:

The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Tower Defence Template" is just a very simple template/tutorial to teach people how to make Unity tower defense games for mobile phones, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy+paste of it can't be recommended.
Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have.
Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from INFINITE BRIDGE.
