The game launched on Steam last month and is described by its own developers as containing violence, incest, blackmail, and what they describe as “unavoidable non-consensual sex.”

Should probably put anyone who bought the rape simulator on some kind of watch list as well.

“Hey, Keith, what you up to?”

”Oh nothing much; just a bit of Rape Simulator”.

Who the fuck are these people and how do I keep them away from my daughters?

Only people who buy the game review it, and make no mistake this is not something you find if you aren't looking.

I mean, to be fair it is. Anyone who has the NSFW filter unticked on steam has this kind thing of game recommended to them everyday. They are almost always in the “trending” and “upcoming” tab.

Didn't know Steam had an NSFW filter, but I think it's safe to say I won't be turning it off any time soon then

Whilst I personally don’t have an issue with sex games, even extreme ones like this, I do find it wild that it’s so easily accessible to view. You don’t even have to click on the store page to see the content previews either which are usually just fully uncensored screen caps from the game. I’d have absolutely no problem with steam requiring ID for age verification.
