Steam To Get Steamy With an Uncensored Yuri Game - Update



Adult visual novel Kindred Spirits on the Roof is making its way to Steam - and nothing is being left out.

Update: A Twitter user identifying themselves as Kindred Spirits' translator also wrote [https://twitter.com/tulipgoddess/status/639577225742839808]: "Yes, I would say sex is an important part of the game, but the focus is more on the relationships of 7 different couples (living and dead!) There isn't a ton of sexual content and I wouldn't call it "gratuitous," but it is sort of at the core of the story."

Original Story:Steam may not be your go-to spot for sexy titles - mainly because the platform has frequently censored titles that depict sex(Japanator [http://steamcommunity.com/games/331470/announcements/detail/226632896656734366] has shared the story of Kindred Spirits on the Roof, the adult visual novel from Liar Soft who annouced on MangaGamer that the title will release on Steam with zero censorship.

"It's great to see our years of effort finally paying off as visual novels containing adult content gain more mainstream acceptance and recognition as a valuable medium for artistic expression," head translator Kouryuu wrote [http://blog.mangagamer.org/2015/09/01/kindred-spirits-on-the-roof-is-coming-to-steam/]. "This is monumental news for the industry as a whole. Everything will be open and up-front with this release; no off-site patch or workarounds. Kindred Spirits will be sold on Steam completely uncensored."

According to the Kindred Spirits MangaGamer Page [http://mangagamer.org/kindredspirits/], the title features a schoolgirl, Toomi Yuna, who encounters two ghosts that met on the roof of the Kokonotsuboshi Girls' Academy of Commerce, fell in love, and desperately want to experience their "first time" with one another - only they don't know how.

"The two who are bound to the site of the school enlist Yuna to help them create more "yuri" couples at the school so that they can glean some sexual insight from observing them, and to assist the girls struggling with their hidden feelings."

Kouryuu wrote "Seeing frank depictions of same-sex relationships welcomed on such a major gaming platform is a true testament to the open-mindedness of our society and the growing desire for mature entertainment that people of all walks of life can enjoy."

I may get this because I'm a sucker for cheap romance.

Yeah, that explanation didn't work when I tried to explain why I had Katawa Shoujo either.

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed. This just seems like one of the moves Gabe needs to make in order to compete this his fears of Windows 8 & 10. Which also means other online stores that rely on Adult PC Games are about to get less future customers.

*Gasp* - I knew this day would come.



I hope GabeN-sama's clouded tower of sorcery casts its healthy magic on my enchanted forest, that the future descendants of my line will be peerless and strong.

Humans. Is there a single thing they won't masturbate to? Sure, bring on the interactive jazz mags. This is going to be sensational.

Hm, I hope they start allowing things besides Yuri on Steam. I would love to see some heterosexual or Yaoi games come to steam as well.

Don't get your hopes up . They said nothing would be cut out but that doesn't exactly say what was in the game to begin with. It says Same sex relationships, but as said.. could just be a clever marketing play on words. Last I checked even in japan these games typically required a fair amount of censorship. what with mosaics and all.

I don't know what the contents of this game are in detail, but as the only thing with uncensored sex or other acts on Steam, will this be an instant hit?

this looks like one of those VN's where the focus is more on the story and its characters so at the end of the day the "adult scenes" if you want to call them that will probably be a softcore reward for completing a certain path

still I'll probably get this since I'm a sucker for yuri VN's

I'm not sure how to feel about this. On one had, I'd never play the game anyway so what do I care?
On the other hand, porn? On Steam? Oh yeah, that's not going to get abused royally, no.

A bit of googling, I was able to find some screenshots of the game:
Judging by this, there will be uncensored breasts, and careful framing to avoid visible genitalia. Could be more, though, hard to say just by a few screenshots.

P.S. Thanks

It doesn't sound like an actual Hentai game, so there's probably little to censor anyway. Still, it's always good to see progress.

Hmm.

Mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm all for Steam opening itself up to more mature content. But then, it's already a dumping ground for cheap, shoddy titles. Do we really need a massive influx of pornography? Even if that's not what this game is, it could certainly open up the flood gate. As long as they maintain some standards, I guess this could be a positive change.

Censored or uncensored, I won't be purchasing it, though. Ugh.

I'm a bit ..... concerned as to how they can call this an "adult title" when the main focus in on schoolgirls at a school. Ya, that's not adult at all; it's children. Not sure their age, but the images provided estimate around the 14yr old group, give or take a few years. Does that really need to be showing excessive "sex scenes" (which yes, as the link provided by Covarr does show such)? Why can't the game expand upon the relationships and feeling of these individuals without going into the visuals of such things? It boarders on pedophilia materials.


You know, Fox news -as zindine100 joked- will catch wind of this and the title will be pulled. Even if Fox News misses it thanks to another Trump dump of nonsense, some other group will. Heck, I dare say that I might even petition such a thing. There is a huge difference between a love story and pornographic materials. When it starts to include naked images of schoolgirls as part of it's 'content', it is considered porn. Drawn or not.

Pffft, call me when a completely uncensored game about male homosexual romance with fully interactive sex scenes is released on Steam, then we'll talk about an open-minded and mature society.

Still, wotevs I guess: let the people enjoy their tales of the undead perving on high-school lesbianism so that the way is cleared for *my* abhorrent and uncensored erotica on Steam.

Honestly, I'm interested. Even if it's a Yuri kind of thing, I can't seem to find any visual novels made specifically for women. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough, but I simply can't find them.

I quite enjoy visual novels, so if anyone has any suggestions for any VNs staring a female lead, be they heterosexual or otherwise, I'd be delighted to receive some recommendations.
