So there are 3D models in the game as well.

Character designs are straight up fire (especially the ladies).

Weird, just yesterday I was wondering if this game was still a thing.

It looks like it used to have that as the subtitle (??not sure of the term) (you can see it on the campfire page but they may have changed it to be more marketable to a western audience. Likewise, they changed the synopsis from explicitly being artefacts Hitler owned to being "Dictator X"'s stuff. I imagine someone on the America licensing side told them not to make it directly Hitler related and keep it unsubtly vague instead for deniability.

Oh ok that explains it, thank you.

This is the first time I've heard of the game but I assume that at least some of the people going to an auction of hitler stuff are there because they like him and his ideas, and in that case I feel like it could potentially weaken the story to be about some fake evil guy. But then again, maybe it was just there to be eyecatching.
