Things just got more bizarre regarding DreadXP’s VILE: Exhumed. After being delayed from its original release last week, developer Final Girl Games has announced that the game has subsequently been banned from Steam.
In an update from Final Girl Games’ Cara Cadaver, Steam has banned the narrative horror game from the service over “sexual content with depictions of real people.” This is despite the fact that all sexual content in the game is implied.
“I refuse to censor or make changes to the game, I will not retell a story about these topics in a way to make people who don’t understand it more comfortable,” says Cadaver. Indeed, Aaron in his recent editorial noted that VILE: Exhumed does deal with rather heavy subject matter, but it’s all text-based.
Incidently, the version of VILE: Exhumed found on itch.io, which is an earlier version of the game, has not been removed, despite containing much the same content. According to Cara, DreadXP will be providing updates via X as to where players can play the game.
In VILE: Exhumed, you will explore the remnants of a stranger’s mind through the decaying interface of an old computer, piecing together the disturbing narrative hidden within corrupted files, old abandoned forums, and emails. Every discovery brings you closer to the truth, and deeper into the rot of the mind.
