Well the company that made it went under at around the time of its release and there were legal complications preventing them ("them" being whoever obtained the rights to the game from that point) from selling it in many countries. At least that's the version of the story I've been told.

Also I suspect there was very little advertising of the game on its release. It was out for at least a year before I knew it was out at all. And I was also lead to believe it was only out for the PS1 (and everything on the PS1 version looked blurry), though I managed to get a PC copy years later.

Ultimately I think these combined circumstances lead to the game becoming somewhat obscure. With very few people playing it there were very few people to know that this style exists.
