That's not even full on explicitness. That's mostly just breast. There were already games with breast on Steam. And there were already a lot of games with the homosex relations on Steam. This is not exactly a big jump.

You know, if they're going to start putting pornographic content on Steam, they could at least stay away from underage teenagers. Bishoujo is not the be all and end all, some of us find adult women to be quite beautiful.

Crap, ninja'd. No matter, it bears repeating.
Oh we're both spot on. Everyone here seems to be "Yes, yuri!", when nobody is looking at the actual context of what this game really is. This is children, which look in their young teens, having sex in a school because of "ghosts". And they want to call this a video game? Really? Up their age to 18+ and put it at an all-girls college and it would be okay. But it is not.

I've already contacted Steam requesting the title not be put on the platform and instead be removed from their future title list because of the context of the content within it.
Lolwat? Naughty context? It's all ink anime. lighten up.

They've already allowed Hatred FFS. The game where you go around brutally murdering innocents just 'cuz. You're crazy and everyone needs to die. How's that for context.
Like it or not pedophilia bothers people more than murder, and simply put Hatred was too over the top, and too similar to other games like "Postal" to really be taken that seriously.

That said my counter-argument to things like this is that "teen on teen" sex is fine, let's be honest it's part of growing up and learning about life and there are songs, movies, books, etc... about it already. Teens trying to "get it on" and eventually succeeding is the central premise of most "high school experience" movies such as "Porky's" "American Pie", and countless others. Not to mention it's all over "teenage super mutant" comics TV Dramas, and everything else. Love it or hate it, it's out there. Heck, "teens humping in the woods" is perhaps the #1 stereotypical horror movie victim trope.

I'd be more concerned if the game was legitimizing adult relationships with teens, which you see in a lot of Japanese media, with say teachers banging their students, or businessmen keeping a harem of "Lolis" or whatever. I think age difference is important. While a teen can handle a relationship with another teen a lot of the time, when it comes down to a relationship with an adult the playing field is not even, and it can play all kinds of havoc.

As a final point, the idea of a teenager getting it on with a ghost is no worse than say Buffy The Vampire slayer getting it on with a Vampire. Consider she hadn't graduated High School when she had that whole plotline where she banged Angel, it cost him his soul, and she had to stop him. That's about as mainstream as you can get, and it didn't raise many eyebrows, even if I believe David Boreanaz was a lot older than Sarah Michelle Geller at the time (I can't remember what he ages were, I read it somewhere once alleging it was signifigant) and the ages of the characters were even greater. But again I feel this is tolerable even with the above taboo no just because it's fantasy, but because it's using "super hero logic" that isn't legitimizing anything in reality. Basically the laws don't account for things that don't exist in real life like super heroes carrying an emotional burden far beyond their years, and who have superhuman strength and fighting ability. No real girl is anything like Buffy Summers, and thus the laws are not written to accommodate what might be acceptable under those circumstances.... and to the credit of the show, it did not end well, so you can't exactly consider it an endorsement either.

The point here is that I doubt this graphic novel will be a big deal. On the other hand if they bring out some visual novel that is grounded in reality and involves a student involved in an relationship with a teacher, then I think there would be more problems, and rightfully so.

Besides unless I really misunderstand the point of the game, I'm surprised there hasn't been more "Ick, Necrophilia". I suppose that doesn't matter as long as the ghost manifests as being perfectly human. Sort of like how most people tend to overlook in romance novels that Vampires are actually ambulatory corpses.

Huh.
Well, that's neat.
Hopefully it'll pave a better path for Visual Novels being released over West, and on Steam.
That is very uncertain though, especially with what is happening with Steam recently.

As for the Visual Novel itself, eh, I'll pass, I'm not a yuri fan.
Now if they get Visual Novels like Kara no Shoujo, then they can call me.

It's their baby - they want boobies, they can allow boobies, I think they should just allow everything but hey it's their baby as I said

I've played a few some are good some are poor, throw them all up and let them thrive on their own merits and not, pardon the pun. their titillation

I wanna see this on Zero Punctuation, if only to see what kind of knots Yahtzee will tie himself up in over the eternal gameplay vs. story debate.

CPATCHA: trickle down......you got issues, Captcha.

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.
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
Even if there was visible genitalia, it still wouldn't be anything new to Steam. Such content has been on Steam for ages. From my understanding, Valve draws the line at the likes of visible penetration and money shots.
