GOG says it’s ‘proud to give Horses a home’ after the horror game was rejected by Steam, but commenters won’t let it forget the time it rejected another horror game

The horror adventure game Horses was rejected by Steam in 2023 due to concerns about depicting sexual conduct involving a minor. The developer, Santa Ragione, argued that the scene was not sexual and has since changed it to feature an adult character, but Valve has not reconsidered the game's status. Horses will launch on other platforms, including the Epic Games Store and the Humble Store, and GOG has expressed support for the game, encouraging pre-orders. This support has sparked controversy, with users comparing it to the treatment of the game Devotion, which was removed from Steam after backlash over a controversial joke about Chinese President Xi Jinping. Despite its removal from major storefronts, Devotion is still available for purchase directly from its developer, Red Candle Games, which has also released the game Nine Sols on Steam.

Horror game maker accuses Valve of ‘censorship’ after its game about nude human ‘Horses’ is rejected by Steam: ‘Lawful works should not be made unreachable by a monopolistic storefront’s opaque decisions’

On December 2, Santa Ragione, an Italian game development studio, will release its first-person horror adventure game, Horses, which explores themes like familial trauma and totalitarian power. The game features grotesque imagery set in a ranch environment with nude individuals wearing horse masks. Before its release, Horses received attention at events such as IndieCade and SXSW Sydney. However, Santa Ragione faces potential closure after being banned from Steam due to concerns over content perceived as depicting sexual conduct involving a minor. The studio criticized Steam's lack of clarity in content guidelines and the absence of options for resubmission or appeal. While Epic Games raised issues about visible nudity, the contentious scene in question was not included in external builds until late 2024. Santa Ragione expressed concern over the inconsistency of content standards between different platforms and lamented the loss of access to Steam, which accounts for over 75% of PC game sales. They argue that the ban reflects moralizing censorship and advocate for artistic freedom in gaming.
