“So skip the foreplay and enjoy your Rape Day you deserve it.” “The zombies enjoy eating the flesh off warm humans and brutally raping them but you are the most dangerous rapist in town,” the description continued.

The pre-release page teased a “choose your own adventure visual novel” in which players can “control the choices of a menacing serial killer rapist during a zombie apocalypse.” The disturbing, since-deleted listing, which was reportedly hidden from regular search results due to its sexually explicit nature, offered a mature content warning for sexual assault, necrophilia, and incest, to name just a few. Prior to this latest statement on the Steam Blog, the preview page for “Rape Day” had been up and running on the site for weeks. After a wave of social media backlash, Steam, the popular gaming platform, has announced that it will not be distributing a controversial game called “Rape Day.”
I pity you as people.ĭavid Thill is a senior journalism major. So, to the employees of Illusion, to the standards and ratings board that allowed this game be made and to whomever may find this game an entertaining idea, to reiterate: You disgust me.

CNN recently reported on this game and the fact that Amazon Marketplace, a Web site that allows for third-party selling of items, recently stopped offering the game for purchase in Britain a full two years after its release. I find it hard to believe there are no other profitable marketing ideas left other than a how-to guide to becoming a misogynistic monster. Have we really run out of ideas? Has Japan, the cradle of video game civilization, the country that gave us lovable Mario and Luigi, hot-headed Donkey Kong and virtually all video game staples, come down to this?
I want to be ruining people’s lives by Christmas.” 3, “How about a game based on rape? You know, a game where you can run around and attempt to tear apart a woman’s life, tear her down from a person to an object! Ripping away the basic humanity of a person and really getting to explore your most primitive, knuckle-dragging drool-dripping awfulness!” “I’ve got it!” exalts Pathetic Bottom-feeder No. Something that really shakes the core of basic human decency down to its foundation.” That’s not graphic enough,” says Moron No. Imagine this: A group of people sitting around a conference table, tossing ideas back and forth for their next video game: And there are people out there eager to throw money at these peoples’ feet in order to carry out these atrocities against women, who have struggled for millennia just to be looked at and treated as people and as the equals they are. I shudder to think there are people out there who not only condone vicious violence against women, but also seek to profit from it. This company is profiting from a game in which the goal is to work one’s way up from molesting strangers on the subway all the way to raping a mother and her two young daughters, with the ultimate goal being to impregnate these women and force them to get abortions. There is no typo there, although I wish there were. What types of video games could this company produce that could bring such a visceral reaction from even the most hardened video gamer such as myself? Games with titles such as “Artificial Girl,” “Battle Rape” and, easily the most disturbing of all, “Rapelay.” The very thought of you being paid to produce the types of video games your company develops makes my flesh crawl and brings a literal gag to the back of my throat. To the employees of the Japan-based Illusion video game development company: You all make me want to vomit.
