Not sure where this would belong, but the game is barely known at all, so I feel this section is appropriate to leave it in.
For a while now, I've been remembering the odd case of a game called Cthulhu on Steam, developed and originally released on Steam by RCade. Although I don't remember it vividly enough to remember it entirely, I remember the game being a weird sidescroller roguelite where you spit teeth at enemies. I didn't keep it in my Steam library for long since the game wasn't really all that great, with it being somewhat confusing.
The weird part comes in with the fact that sometime after the game's release - I can't precisely say when since I didn't witness it on the spot - it was replaced with an entirely different game from the same dev called Back to the 80's. There's still remnants of proof that it was originally Cthulhu, as on the button to purchase it, it still says "Buy Cthulhu". The game didn't sell very well as far as I can tell, as the whole time the page was up the game never got any reviews at all, so I'm not really sure how many people own or owned the game at this point, or if they still have the original game. I originally had a copy of the game on a flash drive, but I've since lost it.
Although the game wasn't great, I still want to find a way to recover it, since it's an odd case of it just straight up disappearing from Steam. If I find any screenshots, trailers, etc. that could help make the game out better, I'll post them here.
The game's original store page and what is now Back to the 80's

EDIT: Found some screenshots of the game on a Twitter page that's been abandoned for over a year now. You can find them here: mobile.twitter.com/Briannato_yt
