Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch

Horses is proving to be something of a surprise hit, at least on the storefronts where you can still buy it.

Currently, only GOG and Itch are still selling this game.

EDIT: It seems the game has returned to Humble Bundle.

    Does being naked make something sexual? I would argue that for content to be sexual it has to have intent to cause arousal.

    The fact that it vaguely resembles fetish content does not in and of it’s self make it fetish content.

    The trailers i have seen for this game do not seem to intend to cause arousal, they seem to want to make the player empathize with the plight of domesticated animals

      I can believe the the dev in that it wasn’t intended to be sexual. But should intent excuse otherwise unacceptable content? Valve says it depicts a sexual interaction, though that seems to be debated a lot.

      My own opinion is that it’s too close, and that this is the kind of boundary shouldn’t be pushed. Despite intentions, the dev really should have known better than to send in anything that could be interpreted as even remotely pedo content.

        Define unacceptable? It’s subjective. A lot of people had a problem with the cover for Nirvanas Nevermind.

          It’s been about sexual abuse. I’m going to call it universally unacceptable.

          Does it count? I find it just kinda sexually icky, and I think it would be harmful to the child. If you think it’d be fine, not even in the gray area, then I guess there’s no argument there anymore.
