"Verbally harass, kill, and rape women as you choose to progress the story," reads the official description of the game on Steam, which Polygon reported on this morning.
WHAT IS RAPELAY SERIAL
Now the largest distributor of PC games faces a major test of its rules around content, as attention centers on one of the most objectionable games to appear on the platform: Rape Day, a visual novel in which the player "controls the choices of a menacing serial killer rapist during a zombie apocalypse." Original story: For the last several years, Valve has grappled with the question of which games should and shouldn't be allowed on Steam. For now, however, it's still present, though not released. The more the developer says, the more the game seems to exist solely to cause outrage, which is one of the few reasons Valve might actually kick it off the store. That sexual content is rape and murder, and it's hard to imagine how anyone could brush it off as "may be illegal in some countries" unless they were just trying to piss people off. Unfortunately, I was not able to get a more specific time estimate for you guys." "I learned that because the game contains sexual content and content that may be illegal in some countries, the review process will take much longer than expected. It's ready for launch, they say, but the review process is "taking longer than expected". Update: The creator of Rape Day, who says they've tried to make a game for sociopaths, has posted another update on Steam. "We respect developers’ desire to express themselves, and the purpose of Steam is to help developers find an audience, but this developer has chosen content matter and a way of representing it that makes it very difficult for us to help them do that."
"After significant fact-finding and discussion, we think 'Rape Day' poses unknown costs and risks and therefore won't be on Steam," the company wrote in a blog post. Update 2: Valve has decided not to distribute Rape Day on Steam.
