You have to select the option in Steam to be shown explicit content. You can even select how explicit. I found a dozen trailers with explicit sex acts in the trailers in less than 20 seconds. I think that this is just the one getting attention, but this has been a thing for years.

I'd say it is about 50/50 if you are going to see a penis, blowjob, or intercourse shown in an AVN trailer on Steam. No Mercy was not a single example of something.

I'm not squeamish about porn, and I rather enjoy step-mom porn (especially if Jamie Foster is in it). I don't even have a problem with the game, to each his own fetish. But that trailer was totally unnecessarily explicit.

There are multiple games on Steam which depict incest. Many of them are "hidden" behind calling the mother character, "Landlady" and sisters as "roommates" or "tenants". I haven't played No Mercy but from what I have read here it is no worse than many other games currently on Steam.

They may have pulled it, but the page is still up and so is the trailer, which is outright rape porn.

I will disagree. If movies like https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/ (Irreversible) can exist, and not only exist but win awards and acclaim across the globe, then why would the gaming medium be off limits to disturbing themes of this nature?

I mean we already have games where we slaughter entire civilizations but anything related to sex is somehow offensive?

I think you missed the point of the movie irreversible. That movie lives in my head rent free. It's extremely well done for cinematography and how the movie plays (backwards) is interesting. As the movie progresses and you get the violent rape / attempted murder part the movie joins the plot together where the damage to this persons life and the people around them is irreversible. If I remember right, her ex boyfriend murders what he thinks is the rapist in a gay sex club with a fire extinguisher by smashing his entire skull into pieces with the victims husband who looks like he was going to be the one to do it was taken out by the guy. it's just a crazy movie that I actually never want to watch again. It's been 20ish years.

Irreversible doesn't glorify rape and murder.

Seems like this game is glorifying the perverted fantasies of the dregs of society.

It is not your mother, it is your step-mother who is somewhat close in age to the main character.

That's an enormous difference.

Aye, so its just, as I mentioned, somebodies fetish put into a game. Ohh well.

As mentioned, I did "play" it for a short bit.

It is not your mother, it is your step-mother who is somewhat close in age to the main character. Said step-mother cheated on the PC's dad, not himself. The main object is manipulation, coercion, and revenge. The other women you meet in the game aren't "practice", per se, but targets of opportunity to coerce and manipulate to fulfill the PC's desires.

Is it pointless and trope-y? Yes. Is it worth getting all riled up about? Absolutely not. This is far from the first game to exhibit these characteristics and it certainly won't be the last.

It is different, though, no? Irreversible has a rape, but you're not the character raping, it isn't raping your mother, and the rape is shown to be awful and devastating not a goal to be proud of because all women secretly like being raped, especially those who deserve it

Really? This is what is being presented as a matter of fact, in the game?

I've not played, so this is all second-hand, but from what I'm reading the point of the game is that your mother cheated and you have to teach her a lesson by "dominating" her, you practice on other women, and they're all shown to secretly love being raped. It isn't exploring the complexity of rape or the damage it does, but presenting it as a win-win situation to strive for.

Another game I can't get achievements for. This oppression must end. Next people will start burning books too protect children and free expression.

It’s becoming terrifying easy to run into other people’s fetishes. A full on game about raping your own mother. Like… bro… what?

I really did not need to know this „game“ even existed. It’s a visual novel anyways so I consider it more of a power point presentation then a game.

we're better than this. so much better. maybe some don't always believe that to be true, but it is.

Over 70 million people in the USA twice helped elect a man that bragged about sexual assault (he can get away with it 'cause he's rich/famous), and was found liable for sexual assault in a court of law. Why wouldn't someone think making a game with a sexual assault simulator was therefore ok?

Well, shit. Now I have to see what it is all about to see just how fucked up it is.

So I found a torrent. Honestly? It's no more fucked up than other games just like this that have come out for years preceding this title.I can absolutely see why it was delisted but it is far from the worst thing I've ever seen. "Played" it (which is basically choose your own adventure clicking and nothing else) for about 30 minutes and then purged it off the drive.Kind of a tempest in a teapot, really.

Yep, it's gone.. still has 400+ concurrent players

Yeah, I kinda saw that coming. Even for Steam, this one was pushing the line. Some folks will do anything for attention, particularly if they think they can make a buck at the same time. I am sure they will find an audience in the corners of the web now that Steam has let them have a day or so of publicity on their platform.

Figures, I go to see what the hubbub is about and can't find it... Desert Stalker is still around. Not saying DS has equivalent content -- but I'm sure it has content Ms. Cooper wouldn't care for.
