Principles are like children. They are never easy or cheep. Like it or not the principles of individual freedom and free speech are involved here. For all of us. Your AVN is legal and covered by the rights of many nations. And not in some. It has always been that way, and you knew that when you started.
By removing your game from any platform it is doing the work of those who would take our freedoms away from all of us. It is like resigning yourself to burn the books for them.
Principles always have a cost. The trials and tribulations you now face are part of the real price of freedom. Will you meet that responsibility?
I am well aware of the risks you now face, legally, financially, and physically. And you are facing those risks NOW. Pulling access to the game will not get rid of that risk.
I believe you overestimate the power of your detractors. They scream and threaten because they are impotent. In short, because they have already lost this fight. And you underestimate the strength of your support. Whether it is the community your game was made for and their fight for their rights and access to this game and others like it, or the people who purchased your game with no intent to play it. They support with their money, and their votes at the ballot box. People who sent you money, that is real support. And many are doing it on Principle!
I imagine that you are feeling mighty unappreciated right now with all the criticism. You have worked hard on your creation only find yourself in this situation. I don't think you expected this, nor should you have. It is stupid. Know that your game and the effort you have put into it are appreciated by the vast majority who have played it. There are always a few detractors in any large group for their own pet peeves, that is just how it works. No Mercy will probably become a classic of it's genre. Don't let it become a dead one. Finish it.
My suggestions for actions are to begin with putting up your game for sale on any platform who will sell, support, service, and defend your right to do so. Let the Trolls scream and wail, and then ignore them. Your explanations are more than sufficient and there is no reason to repeat it. Allow the platforms to defend it and make you money. If you have to, hire lawyers to defend all of you who worked on the project. Take precautions for all of you not to be doxed as best you can. Keep your followers informed about the game and any events in the controversy. Call for support if you need more of it. You will get through this. Have the courage of your convictions.
I think if they didn’t pull it off steam, it would have been deleted regardless. Steam deleted games with way less controversy than this.
The point about principle is valid if the developer stopped publishing completely or apologized or whatever, but they did not.
The game served its purpose on steam, removing it by the developers was the right move. Now more people can enjoy it without the craze of steam, and even the developers can have better profit out of steam. Just because of this game i’ve learned about itch and other platforms. It’s win situation for everyone involved minus the radical karens and their puppets.
Love the game, just got the Happy Ending route, will there be an updated walkthrough later? Also, don't let the simps and cucks of the world interfere with your work. Keep on going. 👍
Hi, thank you for choosing such a brave theme to make a game, there is certainly not enough maledom in the world. Having said that, I think your altruism in defending steam was misplaced. I'm 90% sure before pulling your game from the store Valve said something to you, something that resulted in you pulling that game from the store. They used you, in a dirty fashion. You think they're allies - they're not. You should've forced them to ban you. Then you would've exposed them for who they are - a shallow DEI company and allies of the feminists. Now steam got what they wanted for free (dev pulled out the game that could've resulted in bad PR) and feminists are celebrating. It's a lose-lose. And you're not coming back there, guaranteed. No future titles of such nature will be allowed on steam, we both know that. Glad itch io exists at least, so lets celebrate while we can.
don't back down from all these radicals, keep this game up in this site or bring it back up on steam, i don't agree with a lot of stuff in this game but fiction is fiction, people out there need to learn how to differentiate between real life and fiction lol, i played hatred back when it came out, i sure as hell didn't become a active shooter edit : the reason why i am gonna support this studio is because of censorship, the radical feminist group rallied up to bully the studio into taking the game down, if this kind of mob mentality succeeds once, it can happen again with any game in the future, say no to censorship. This entire situation is so bs because i've seen games out there that potray even weirder things than this one
I accidentally bought two copies because the itch desktop client is silly and tried to download nothing since the downloads are external and thought it didn't go through.... any chance I could get the second purchase back?
someone can help to can play it?or just to see it somewhere free,i dont have money :c if i cant get it free where i can see some full gameplay not censored?
Zerat, I wan't to think of your decision to remove the game from steam as a tactical retreat, sadly, this is a battle that was lost to radicals, but not due to Zerat de-listing...
The game was first banned in 3 countries by legal action; If the game was not removed, more countries would have followed suit because of the outrage and unwanted attention would be drawn to steam. Of course, nothing of this is ideal but now a dangerous precedent was set.
Is time to start reinforcing and supporting platforms like this (itch io) and Zerat, whatever you do, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE the game from this platform and never desist from your creative work. In the end, if we manage to make the game sell like Hot Cakes HERE an important message will be sent loud and clear.
Everyone, if you happen to participate in online conversations about this game, don't forget to let everyone know that the game is still available here.
I was curious, but to be honest, it's not for me...rape and choking... endless. No, not really....I wanted to kiss to get away from it a bit....a message appears...LOL.....If it's not possible, then why is it there???? I like cheating, cuckhold and dirty talk, but rape is definitely not one of them!! I'm glad this game only cost 10 euros.... ...
Its an OK game but worth supporting if you hate Censorship as much as i do. I do wonder if we'll get updates on Steam or if it will be relisted again in the future.
well on the other hand, activists are making it easy for me to discover a game like this that normally would have flown under the radar. Thanks for making such a huge controversy of this and allowing me to add yet another VN to my growing collection.
Got my copy in case it's pulled. Love DRM free ! Looks interesting, good price, DRM free version, Linux version, made with a FOSS engine, checks enough boxes for this VN fan.
They not tried, they succeeded. In the dev letter to fans he notes his game was blocked in 3 big countries before he decided to pull from Steam. I believe they were Australia, UK, and maybe USA. He probably saw an avalanche of controversy coming from that if he didn't leave. It happened, but not on Steam which I think he wanted to avoid.
For some reason I'm getting distracted replying to you. lol
In all seriousness, the devs should've never pulled the game. And the countries that were restricted had a history for banning the stupidest shit. And no, the US isn't among them.
I don't wanna be policed by fucking Australians. They've banned anime/manga/games/movies over the stupidest thing. You can't be an adult actress in Australia if you're born with the wrong bust size. You can't have Ninja swords in the UK. All those countries are stupid countries with stupid rules.
Just restrict those countries and let the rest of the world enjoy it.
I am not that much into the rape kink but I believe 100%that no fictional medium will ever be able to harm anyone and I will always support uncensored art. So I decided to buy it as well.
It's actually pretty well done. Wouldve never bought it if I didnt hear about the controversy so in a weird way I'm glad it got pulled off. It's still fucked that Steam took it off but yk
I own this game, enjoy it greatly, and have been married for 42 years and have 10 adult children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. My wife sees me playing it, and we've discussed it and she has no issues with me paying it. So please don't take away our access!
I seen this game on steam and was like "oh just another typical V/N whatever" then seen the backlash the game got and immediately went and bought it. Makes me wonder if all this "controversy" has actually increased the sales on the game?
lol I bought the game and now I'm being treated like I pirated it from a shady file sharing platform: 1st link dl speed 1mb/s, 2nd link locked behind paywall and last link is an empty folder
I started with Download Link #3 because it was the newest. Blazing fast speed until 6gb, then snails pace unless I pay. Tried the 1st link and it's only taking about 10 minutes. Maybe try again? I had a weird thing come up in the download "check internet connection". When I hit "resume" it started cranking just fine. I'm here to fight censorship. :)
here to fullyu support you, id wishlisted the game before stema became pussies, so I hunted for you to get the game anyway I could, saw patreon got nuked so I checked until I looked here, I followed you and ill support any game you do in the future, don't let this stop you, be even more degrenerate in the future,m fuck the woke and the moral puritans
down vote all you want, feelings arent facts and your down votes don't change reality, cry harder weaklings
Y'all are nasty and don't think we don't see you saying this game is good cause "leftists hate it." You claim to want to protect women and then jerk off to this. You talk all about the gays, the trans, the immigrants, etc being rapists and then you turn around and get off to rape. Every accusation is a confession.
I'm a "leftist". I don't hate this game or the content within it. Nor do any of my "leftist" friends, which includes women. You see, we're able to understand the difference between fantasy and reality, unlike you. Unlike others, we don't need to virtue signal to try and appease the crowd.
Y'all are literally sending death threats and calling out for the worst with the hate mob over a fictional piece of media. But sure we're the bad ones.
While everyone is drowning themselves in the politics, I’m interested in the game itself. How’s the game so far? Is it actually a good game with a good story to play and is it worth the asking price? Or should i wait for future updates? I’d genuinely like to support the developer and others alike, but i just want to know if i’m buying a good game or buying a side of a controversy.
How many hours to completion? Is it buggy or well developed? Is the story complete and makes sense?
I have over 2 dozen hours in the game, and 2/3rds of the achievements. I have played through it twice. I intend to play at least until I get all the achievements. I am expecting 40 hrs.
I would call it a superior game. One of the few.
The story is good. Far better when you consider the between the lines interplay.
I am glad I bought it. If you like AVNs you will be too.
To see everything it will require multiple play throughs due to story forks and multiple endings. Time to complete depends on your definition of complete and play style. However, it was not meant to be a short game.
It is not buggy but needs polishing. Dialogue in English is a translation and needs work in places. The story is complete, The developers have promised an update which would flesh out some branches and add scenes. I hope they do.
As a WOMAN I’d like to say I FULLY SUPPORT individual freedom and I WILL BE PURCHASING this game. They have no right to tell us what we can/cannot play, just because we play a game such as this one does not mean we are rapists. Games are categorised as 18+ games for a reason and adults can make their own choices. By their logic GTA and all the other similar games should also be banned too. The world is going absolutely insane.
It's not letting me download the PC version without upgrading to gofile premium.... so hold off before y'all buy this. You've been warned. Edit1: Maybe it's just because a million people are downloading it at the same time? We can only hope... Edit2: Click the 3rd link - PC and Mac version. It's a different page. It'll let you get the PC version from there.
It's definitely a volume thing. Download link #3 slows to a snails pace after 6gb, but Download link #1 seems fine all the way through. That said, people may have to "resume" a few times. I expect this is due to so many trying to download it to fight censorship. Best thing that could have happened to the dev is "Women in Gaming" freaking out.
I just wanna say as disgusting, deprived and uncomfortable this game is people have NO RIGHT to tell you what to do or play. The censorship of creative freedom is getting out of hand.
These guys don't give a fuck about all the graphic murders in Mortal Kombat which is 10x more graphic and suddenly there's a rape game and everyone got their pitch forks out?
While this game isn't my cup of tea I'm giving you my money - These retards should not be able to tell you what to make and what not to make

I can see a path by which it gets them exposure it wouldn't have without Steam. But I don't think that was the original plan.
Better would be to let the turmoil die down. Finish and polish the game. Relist the game with a new patch...
I can see multiple sequels and spin offs possible. The love path could be "Love Rules".
Gross game, but also: Clear censorship.
Keep it up as long as you can, forever.
Not interested in this game or its content, but if you don't like it? DON'T BUY IT.
Bending the knee to mob is cowardice.
Love the game, just got the Happy Ending route, will there be an updated walkthrough later? Also, don't let the simps and cucks of the world interfere with your work. Keep on going. 👍
brought it still doesn't let me access it, need my money back
I just came to see how gooners cry in the comments over a porn game kkkkk

what stuff don’t you agree with?
obviously the non consensual stuff. i don’t support that at all.
the rape... hello??
I instantly made an account and bought this game.
No to censorship!
You have my respect for that.
We think alike
Buying to support the fight against censorship.
Zerat, kudos for standing up for yourselves, relist your game on steam!! <3
I accidentally bought two copies because the itch desktop client is silly and tried to download nothing since the downloads are external and thought it didn't go through.... any chance I could get the second purchase back?
I would try contacting support
Is it still available to download because it's not allowing me to do it
Download it from lewdzone
thx bro, you’re a legend ☻
It's not a free game
I can't access the part 2 of this game someone help me
someone can help to can play it?or just to see it somewhere free,i dont have money :c if i cant get it free where i can see some full gameplay not censored?
If you get the full version share it me too
The game appears not to be downloadable anymore, has it been pulled from itch as well?
Zerat, I wan't to think of your decision to remove the game from steam as a tactical retreat, sadly, this is a battle that was lost to radicals, but not due to Zerat de-listing...

What the difference between the itch.io and Steam versions?
Don't worry, there's no difference! You get the full version by purchasing here ^_^
I was curious, but to be honest, it's not for me...rape and choking... endless. No, not really....I wanted to kiss to get away from it a bit....a message appears...LOL.....If it's not possible, then why is it there???? I like cheating, cuckhold and dirty talk, but rape is definitely not one of them!! I'm glad this game only cost 10 euros.... ...
There is a love path. Choking not required.
Got it on Steam before the controversy even hit.
Its an OK game but worth supporting if you hate Censorship as much as i do. I do wonder if we'll get updates on Steam or if it will be relisted again in the future.
well on the other hand, activists are making it easy for me to discover a game like this that normally would have flown under the radar. Thanks for making such a huge controversy of this and allowing me to add yet another VN to my growing collection.

how i can get it free bro? i dont have money u.u or where i can see full gameplay not censored?
Congrats for your cowardness. You are now validating those harpies by pulling the game and making it even harder for people to develop such games.
You're no better than the ones that tried to cancel your game, pussies.
They not tried, they succeeded. In the dev letter to fans he notes his game was blocked in 3 big countries before he decided to pull from Steam. I believe they were Australia, UK, and maybe USA.

Just restrict those countries and let the rest of the world enjoy it.
I read the letter again it was Canada, not USA.
You complain like the devs blocked people from buying their game. Just buy it here and enjoy drm free.
I don't think media should be censored
It wasn't. Devs voluntarily pulled the game
I literally downloaded this to see what it was because of all of the backlash. Wouldn't of cared about it otherwise
Okay ... because of too many people trying to download the game it cannot be downloaded right now. @devs: please fix this and add additional mirrors.
Edit: Just saw that there are already additional mirrors - nevermind.
I am not that much into the rape kink but I believe 100%that no fictional medium will ever be able to harm anyone and
I will always support uncensored art. So I decided to buy it as well.
share :c
I don't know if I'll play this game, but I hate leftist censorship and I hate L.B.C so I bought it to spite them.
It's actually pretty well done. Wouldve never bought it if I didnt hear about the controversy so in a weird way I'm glad it got pulled off. It's still fucked that Steam took it off but yk
Steam didn't remove the game. The developers voluntarily removed the game
Damn the creator really is aura farming then
I own this game, enjoy it greatly, and have been married for 42 years and have 10 adult children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. My wife sees me playing it, and we've discussed it and she has no issues with me paying it. So please don't take away our access!
i will always fight against censorship
I seen this game on steam and was like "oh just another typical V/N whatever" then seen the backlash the game got and immediately went and bought it. Makes me wonder if all this "controversy" has actually increased the sales on the game?
From a post I read yesterday, at least a 10 fold increase in sales.
lol I bought the game and now I'm being treated like I pirated it from a shady file sharing platform: 1st link dl speed 1mb/s, 2nd link locked behind paywall and last link is an empty folder

down vote all you want, feelings arent facts and your down votes don't change reality, cry harder weaklings
To be fair, it wasn't Steam. The devs removed it after the UK, Canada, and Australia freaked out. But I'm here for the same reason.
steam was gonna cave, they have done it before, I have no faith in them what so ever
Could have been the writing on the wall, yes, but we won't know at this point. What we all DID know is that it would be here. Cheers :)
Y'all are nasty and don't think we don't see you saying this game is good cause "leftists hate it." You claim to want to protect women and then jerk off to this. You talk all about the gays, the trans, the immigrants, etc being rapists and then you turn around and get off to rape. Every accusation is a confession.
women can protect themselves, the game isnt real, grow up
down vote all you want, feelings arent facts and your down votes don't change reality, cry harder weaklings
One is real life. The other is fiction. One is a crime. The other is free speech. But yeah, anything the censorship brigade hates, I'm all for!
I'm a "leftist". I don't hate this game or the content within it. Nor do any of my "leftist" friends, which includes women. You see, we're able to understand the difference between fantasy and reality, unlike you. Unlike others, we don't need to virtue signal to try and appease the crowd.
Y'all are literally sending death threats and calling out for the worst with the hate mob over a fictional piece of media. But sure we're the bad ones.
seethe and cope harder.
Looking forward to trying this, controversy is great marketing lol
(For people who actually played the game)
While everyone is drowning themselves in the politics, I’m interested in the game itself. How’s the game so far? Is it actually a good game with a good story to play and is it worth the asking price? Or should i wait for future updates? I’d genuinely like to support the developer and others alike, but i just want to know if i’m buying a good game or buying a side of a controversy.

I have over 2 dozen hours in the game, and 2/3rds of the achievements. I have played through it twice. I intend to play at least until I get all the achievements. I am expecting 40 hrs.
I would call it a superior game. One of the few.
The story is good. Far better when you consider the between the lines interplay.
I am glad I bought it. If you like AVNs you will be too.
To see everything it will require multiple play throughs due to story forks and multiple endings. Time to complete depends on your definition of complete and play style. However, it was not meant to be a short game.
It is not buggy but needs polishing. Dialogue in English is a translation and needs work in places. The story is complete, The developers have promised an update which would flesh out some branches and add scenes. I hope they do.
yo bro can u tell me how to get to the dom path ending? is it by just selecting the dom options at every choice?
Pretty much. That is what I am working on now. Easy mode will help (but no achievements). There is a guide on Steam.
The game is banned on steam in my country. Any chance you can copy it in here or is there somewhere else where I can find the guide?
TERRIBLE GAME 🤢
Terrible opinion.
Never heard of this game until it got removed from Steam. Looks good, can't wait to play it!
As a WOMAN I’d like to say I FULLY SUPPORT individual freedom and I WILL BE PURCHASING this game.
They have no right to tell us what we can/cannot play, just because we play a game such as this one does not mean we are rapists. Games are categorised as 18+ games for a reason and adults can make their own choices. By their logic GTA and all the other similar games should also be banned too. The world is going absolutely insane.
youre so fucking embarrassing
You care more about pixels than irl women lol.
for real lmao they call people names over pixels, while they're doing nothing for irl women. performative.
you're the embarrassing one lol.
you are so worthless 1fault
People who can't separate real world and fiction like you normally will be locked in nuthouse.
Let freedom ring! Haters are going to hate. Ignore them,
It's not letting me download the PC version without upgrading to gofile premium.... so hold off before y'all buy this. You've been warned. Edit1: Maybe it's just because a million people are downloading it at the same time? We can only hope... Edit2: Click the 3rd link - PC and Mac version. It's a different page. It'll let you get the PC version from there.
It's definitely a volume thing. Download link #3 slows to a snails pace after 6gb, but Download link #1 seems fine all the way through. That said, people may have to "resume" a few times. I expect this is due to so many trying to download it to fight censorship. Best thing that could have happened to the dev is "Women in Gaming" freaking out.
So... is there a reason the game crashes constantly? Unfortunately makes the game unplayable.
Sound like ur pc is shit, my laptop ran it fine and its not even for gaming.
I just wanna say as disgusting, deprived and uncomfortable this game is people have NO RIGHT to tell you what to do or play. The censorship of creative freedom is getting out of hand.
These guys don't give a fuck about all the graphic murders in Mortal Kombat which is 10x more graphic and suddenly there's a rape game and everyone got their pitch forks out?
While this game isn't my cup of tea I'm giving you my money - These retards should not be able to tell you what to make and what not to make
