Horses, a horror game developed by indie studio Santa Ragione that was banned on Steam two years before its release, nonetheless hit stores earlier this month. Just not two of the big ones: Epic also pulled Horses from sale just one day before launch, but Horses found a home on GOG. Humble, too, though the storefront did initially have a bit of a panic.
Reasons were mostly based on the content of the game—it being an arthouse-style horror about a man on a farm populated by naked people wearing horse masks, dealing with themes of sexuality, violence, slavery, and so on. In particular, a scene where a child was depicted riding on the back of one of the farm's captives, the horse-headed captive being naked. This was later changed before the release of the full game.
