Is this the…um…incest game? Is that why they’re being harassed? Or is it something else I’m ootl on?
This is the exact type of comment that led the dev to abandon everything.
It's not "the incest game", the topic of incest barely even appears only if you make several specific choices in the game, and even then it's never painted in a good light.
I want to be absolutely clear that I don't condone doxxing or harassment, and people should be free to push boundaries in artistic endeavors.
But you only get to Bowser in 8-4 if you make several specific choices in the game, and it seems like the main draw of the game is being edgy with sexy cartoons. If it didn't want to be "the incest game" then it shouldn't really have incest in it. That's a controversial choice, and if the developer didn't know that, they didn't read or watch Game of Thrones.
Even the first episode of the game was rife with incestuous undertones. I fully support the dev in their art, but it's hard to say it's not an incest game.
People just need to grow up. Weird things happen all the time. We can't be puritanical and pretend it doesn't exist.
To be fair, judging by the fact it's either incest or people getting knives/cleavers put up against their throats, i'm going to go on a wild guess and say it doesn't paint it in a positive light. Maybe even suggests there's something wrong with them.

a pass?
Thank you for the clarification. The screenshots for the game on Steam's site led me to believe it was a horror-romance focused game that heavily leaned on incest. In either case, this is likely not a game for me. Good on the dev for being able to step away from the drama and focus on their work. Shame on people for harassing them.
Apparently it wasn't just drama. Steam post doesn't mention that, but it seems the dev was doxed just before making this decision. :/
Yeah, I'm probably understating what happened to the dev. I don't know the entire story. I just wish them the best.
Genuinely thank you for clarifying and yeah, I realize I’m kind of being part of the problem here, but that is literally all I know about the game because of the internet mob.
Every time I tried to ask anything about it on Reddit or Twitter I would get shouted down because of the “problematic content”, and that is all the topic would devolve into. The creator doesn’t deserve to be bullied or doxxed over it, even if the entire story WAS about incest. That really sucks.
Why is it even an option in the game??
It cannot really be about that, there are tons of incest porn games on Steam that pass largely unremarked upon, and this seems way less explicit than most of them. Surely if someone wanted to punish incest game creators, they'd start with one that's way more explicitly incesty?
I think they just decided to bully these devs, in particular, and whatever they say it's about is just a pretext for the bullying.
This one got famous cause of the memes that's why it gets harassment and the others don't
I'm all for supporting developers not being harassed, but what the hell is that screenshot library? What even is this game? I stopped scrolling after a bit because the dialog looks...gross, at best, if not straight up soft incest porn.
What even is this game?
It's a psychological horror visual novel.
Consider me horrified.
