In the most recent update on the Steam page, the developer explains that they've removed a 'baby killing scene' to avoid being accused of including 'content that exploits children,' which is banned in one of the seven guidelines a Steam game must meet, which are mostly related to legality. However, it's unclear whether the game constitutes trolling under Steam's rule, which suggests that intent is the issue for Valve, not the content itself. Rape Day is already generating backlash: several discussions on its section of the Steam forums are calling for it to be removed. Last year, Valve cited it after removing Active Shooter, a game which simulated school shootings, saying that it was 'designed to do nothing but generate outrage and cause conflict through its existence.' Valve also accused that developer of 'numerous misrepresentations, copyright violations, and customer abuses.' I understand that it is however it is not the majority of people again the game is for a niche audience.' Valve's hands-off policyДЄccording to Valve's policy, it will disallow games it determines to be illegal and those it determines to be 'trolling.' The latter rule is vague, but has been applied. 4% of the general population are sociopaths and the type of people that would be entertained by a story like this is not even limited to pure sociopaths.

It's for a niche audience If it's not your type of game you definitely don't need to play it but as other's have said I tried to make a game that I would enjoy playing, and there are other people like me. 'Despite what people are saying in the discussion, the game is marked as adult. In the first blog update on Rape Day's Steam page, its creator offered a puzzling defense of the game: that its intended audience includes sociopaths. The unnamed creator of Rape Day says they have spent two years developing the half-hour-long game. The only other section of the website is a bibliography of sorts that points to six academic studies and articles that refute a connection between violent video games and real-life violence. 'Murder has been normalized in fiction, while rape has yet to be normalized,' writes Rape Day's creator on the game's website, itself essentially an FAQ defending the project. The developer explains that they've removed a 'baby killing scene' to avoid being accused of including 'content that exploits children.' The zombies enjoy eating the flesh off warm humans and brutally raping them but you are the most dangerous rapist in town.' The page, which cannot be viewed unless you've logged into Steam and set your store preferences to allow 'Adult Only Sexual Content,' includes a trailer and screenshots of 3D-modeled characters which depict the scenes described. '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.

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 developersвЂ™ 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.
