Seduce Me Is An RPG You Can Fap To — Expect More Bans On Steam

Seduce Me Is An RPG You Can Fap To — Expect More Bans On Steam
Disclaimer: This is a satire piece. It’s not real, but instead imagine we lived in a world where it was.

If you’ve been keeping a weather eye on the news of late, you must have heard of Valve’s removal of Seduce Me, a game from Dutch developer No Reply Games, from Steam Greenlight — a place where indie developers may go to share their ideas with gamers and get feedback and constructive criticism. Apparently it’s okay to have decapitations and strong language in a game but as long as a penis doesn’t touch a vagina it’s alright.

Confusing then when you consider that The Witcher 2 is readily available for purchase and download via Steam.

Nonetheless gamers have been in uproar on either side, and it’s been quite a mixed bag of responses consisting of those who favour the game’s developers and those who favour Steam’s terms of use which states that offensive content will be removed, but doesn’t explain what constitutes offensive. And there have been confessions from both sides that while the content is indeed offensive to some, it shouldn’t be enough to keep it out of Greenlight.

Then a revelation was made. A grand old discovery that Seduce Me is in fact a climactic role playing game. You pick up a broad who catches your eye, dine her and date her and hopefully give her the D. Watch for yourself if you’d like. That’s very much like a role playing game, in more than one way.

If you think about it, in other role playing games the concept is the same. And by the end of it, it is the player who is rewarded, regardless of their questing. Assuming they perform all tasks adequately.

With Seduce Me being essentially a dating RPG, would that then allow Valve to accept it on Steam? Or is the gratuitous sex or allusion to such too much for the humble developer which flaunts The Witcher 2 during sales, for all and sundry to see? What if we called it a D-RPG? You can decide what the D stands for.

Alternatively if that’s still not fine then I would expect many more bans from Steam, as more games are flagged as offensive. Indigo Prophecy, for one. Anything from CD Projekt. I saw some sex in The Darkness II as well.

In essence though, Seduce Me is an RPG. A dating-based RPG that rewards players with a climax. Like masturbation, basically. And that would ring truer since just like in an RPG, you are basically playing with yourself… Just be sure you’ve maxed out one-handed.

This is troubling considering how many RPGs I’ve played this year.

    Do indie games undergo ESRB or similar rating before being made commercially available? If not, that’s where the problem lies, and is entirely the indie development studio’s fault and problem.

    Eh, nooooot really, but again, “RPG” is a pretty broad term that defines different things depend on who you ask. Seduce Me very much fits under the Visual Novel genre, this kind of visual novel/erotic game has been very popular in Japan for well over a decade now and is simply referred to as Eroge.

    What’s interesting is that Seduce Me, despite using the age-old japanese Eroge VN formula, presented itself in a way that’s remarkably different from your typical japanese VN, visually speaking at least. Whilst japanese eroge VN, despite having been around for eons, have not changed much at all. It’s something that’s visible in other genres as well, western developers always building on existing ideas, creating new innovative games whereas Japanese developers are well content with sitting on ancient formula and make no attempt at innovation, JRPG is a prime example of this.

    Of course, that’s all under the assumption that Seduce Me was developed with japanese eroge VN concept in mind, or it could be a complete coincidence, who knows.
