The horror game "Vile: Exhumed" which was removed from the shelves by Steam without any direct sexual behavior was released today (August 6) as a free donation game under the Creative Commons license.
"Vile: Exhumed" was previously available on Steam and is scheduled to be released on July 22 - the page has now disappeared, but can still be viewed through Internet Archive.According to SteamDB's records, the page was removed from the shelves on July 25.The game is one of the innocent victims of the recent storm of the removal of adult games.
Despite the game being removed, Cadaver said she would not review or modify the game "to make it more comfortable for those who don't understand it", and promised that she and publisher DreadXP are working to get the game online through other channels.Today, the effort bears fruit on a self-built website that provides links to multiple sources.It is worth mentioning that the domain name of the website is the publisher's name, and the sub-page is Vile-is-banned.
The game is free and can be shared freely under the terms of the Creative Commons License.Players (or anyone who believes such works should have a chance to come out) can donate to support the game on Vile: Exhumed's website.All profits DreadXP earned from the game and some of Cadaver's profits (50% of all profits) will be donated to "Red Door Family Shelter".This is a Toronto-based charity dedicated to helping families, refugees and women fleeing violence.
“This is our response to the censorship and our rejection of the notion that ‘whether the subject matter can be defined as acceptable’,” Cadaver wrote in the account of Vile: Exhumed."I'm not sure you just got it from the website, maybe a friend sent you this zipped file, no matter what. At the end of the day, I'm glad you can play with it, that's the most important thing."
