Steam Banned Our Game, We're Fighting to Get It Unbanned

Posted by Sei-ren - 3 hours ago


Hey everyone, Sei-ren here.

We’ve got some tough news to share. After reviewing our game, Steam has banned our app from their platform, citing a violation of their rules—specifically, the depiction of characters who are minors.

Let us be clear: our game does not feature any such characters. For instance, Margaret, our protagonist, is a widow, and her story has nothing to do with the claims made. We’re already working on an appeal to challenge this decision and will keep you updated on any progress. In the meantime, we’re exploring other options to ensure the game’s release goes ahead as planned.

Thank you for your support! We’re doing everything we can to resolve this and move forward.

I know here on Newgrounds, you're definitely not allowed to have minors in sexually suggestive situations (based purely on appearance), and it's best to assume Valve has similar rules on their platform.
In this case however, the demo is still up on NG, none of the characters seem to be underage.

I can only make two assumptions: either it's a false-positive made in error (which you believe it to be), or the full game MAY contain a "younger-looking character" that isn't in the demo.

I am looking at screenshots on your game's itch.io-page and my best guess is that somebody _knowingly_ _falsely_ reported your game because they did not like that a woman wearing a cross enjoyed sex. And Steam did not double-check the claim.

I have not fact-checked my bold claim, though. (Same as Steam. ;p )
