Controversial Visual Novel to Be Removed from Steam Amid Backlash
April 11, 2025 - 13:30
The developers of a contentious 3D visual novel, which includes themes of non-consensual sex and incest, have stated their intention to withdraw the game from the Steam platform following significant public outcry. The game, titled No Mercy, has faced intense scrutiny and criticism online, leading to widespread discussions about its content and implications.
The controversy intensified when a government official in the United Kingdom condemned Valve for permitting the game to be available for purchase on their platform. In response to the backlash and the decision by Valve to remove the game from the UK version of Steam, the studio has opted to take the game down entirely.
Despite defending the creative choices behind No Mercy, the developers acknowledged the negative impact and the concerns raised by the community. This decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate surrounding the boundaries of video game content and the responsibilities of platforms in regulating material deemed harmful or offensive.
