My game launched today.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2293660/He_Fucked_The_Girl_Out_of_Me/
It took a lot of pain to get to this point. My worst fear is that it will be met with a wave of hatred or silence.
Steam's algorithm due to the nature of this game will likely work against it being seen.
Please boost if you can.
For context due to the nature of steam's adult tag and the use of the word fuck, it's going to be targeted towards games made for erotic consumption.
There isn't really a place for adult games that exist for things other than gratification on steam.
In an ideal world there would be a place for both games that discuss or explore trauma and sexuality- and a place for games designed to gratify the viewer.
Unfortunately right now that doesnt exist so my game is pushed towards people seeking porn.
Then when it isn't positively received because there are basically zero sexy elements, it goes into obscurity.
It's not steams fault or erotic games fault that it is that way. It is more the nature of our society that anything "adult" is treated as porn.
I hope one day we can live in a better society where people can explore sexuality and trauma openly in games and have a space beyond just porn.
I don't think we are there yet or even have the language for it but I hope to see the world where that exists.
This game is free and will always be free.
If you are interested in playing it outside of steam, it is available on itch.io as well at:
