Madmind Studio have once again courted the ire of Steam, this time with the VR version of their 2021 title, Succubus. Succubus: Hellish Orgy VR, which had been announced during MADNIGHT 2023, has been banned from the service.
Reported by our friends at RelyOnHorror, Hellish Orgy VR was scheduled to be released Q1 2023 on Steam VR, but has now had its Steam page wiped (though you can still find it on SteamDB). According to Madmind, Hellish Orgy VR was removed from Steam for being “too disturbing.” Valve reportedly had concerns over the titles “drastic content”, though didn’t get into specifics as to what that entailed.
Though honestly, given that the game was described as casting the player as the servant of Queen Vydija (the titular Succubus from the game), and tasked to do everything to satisfy her macabre desires, you can draw your own conclusions.
It’s not the first time that Madmind has drawn the attention of Valve. Their first title, Agony (which also has a VR version out now), faced its own issues with Valve when players were given a copy of the unrated version as a bonus for purchasing the censored M-rated version of the game (which was Madmind’s intention). That unrated version subsequently disappeared from players’ libraries, before reappearing again on Steam.
Madmind explained in a later post on Steam that games with themes similar to Agony and Succubus “often face some difficulties on this platform.”
Meanwhile, Madmind is continuing development on another game set in the Agony and Succubus universe with Agony: Lords of Hell, which is currently in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign.
