Madmind Studio, the developer behind sexy, hell-based horror video games like Agony, has had one in every of its upcoming releases faraway from Steam. The web page for Succubus: Hellish Orgy VR was eliminated, remaining seen solely on SteamDB (opens in new tab), regardless of the very fact the 2D model of Succubus (opens in new tab) continues to be up on the market on Steam.
“Some options accessible within the VR model are too disturbing and immersive to be launched on Steam”, Madmind’s press launch reads. It would not explicitly say what function led to the banning, merely that, “Valve banned it for its drastic content material” and “Steam has determined to ban the sport with out giving us the power to make modifications/patches/censorship”.
Madmind has beforehand danced across the edges of what is allowed on Steam by releasing “unrated” variations of its video games as free DLC. As an example, Succubus – Unrated (opens in new tab) lists these amongst its adults-only additions:
- therapeutic mini-games, equivalent to abortions and varied genitals mutilation
- interactive intercourse minigames
- extra intercourse scenes within the type of cutscenes
- extra intercourse scenes depicting demons and people, seen in recreation’s ranges
- no censorship on the character’s breasts and genitals
- extra “hellish orgy” orgy scene
Madmind’s earlier recreation, Agony, bumped into hassle when the unrated model was as a substitute made accessible as a standalone recreation given to homeowners of the unique without spending a dime. These gamers later discovered Agony Unrated had been faraway from their Steam library, which Madmind mentioned was as a result of Valve had delinked the bundled-together video games with out clarification, and will solely assume was as a result of “some gamers who deliberately purchased the sport within the censored model additionally bought entry to the uncensored model, which they didn’t need.” Agony Unrated was then made accessible as a free DLC for the unique, and every part was advantageous.
Perhaps it is the truth that Succubus VR included options from its Unrated DLC, in which you’ll rip fetuses out of pregnant ladies and eat them to get hit factors again, that resulted in it being eliminated. In the meantime, Agony VR (opens in new tab) stays on Steam with tomorrow as its launch date—at the very least, for now. Madmind says it nonetheless plans to launch Succubus: Hellish Orgy VR on different platforms, although it hasn’t determined which that will likely be. I’ve reached out to the studio for additional remark.
