zeroxxx: You probably want to reject this shitty indie developer who are censoring the negative reviews.
That's a pretty baseless accusation. Do you have any proof that it's the dev who is doing it?
The dev has also responded in the thread:

In that thread, there are also a couple plausible reasons for the disappearing reviews as well as the unusually high recommend rate:
* The two negatives that disappeared may have requested refunds and received them (they were both apparently from people who had played less than 1 hour. This would then possibly make the reviews disappear since they no longer have the game in their library.
* Fanboys of the game may be reporting the negative reviews with little coherent content on their own initiative.
* The game has only been out for 2 days and had generated a significant amount of hype in obscure like-minded indie circles. Once the game has been out longer and a wider sampling of gamers gets their hands on it the rating will probably start to drop.
As for the game itself, JRPG retro-aesthetic games don't usually peak my interest these days, but this one looks like it is crafted with a lot of care and unique elements. It also seems to built with GameMaker as opposed to RPG Maker, so it doesn't suffer from the limitations of standard RPG Maker games. Apparently, there is a good deal of buzz on it as it already has 350+ reviews (99% positive) on Steam after only being out for 2 days.
I also like that it allows for a non-violent path to complete the game.
