Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch

Horses is proving to be something of a surprise hit, at least on the storefronts where you can still buy it.

Currently, only GOG and Itch are still selling this game.

EDIT: It seems the game has returned to Humble Bundle.

    It was a child doing pony play, riding a naked adult man-horse. The dev claimed it was not sexual.

    I don’t think gaming needs CSAM to be a “unique art form”, but you do you.

      Y’all need to read what CSAM is. Questionable or objectionable art isn’t CSAM in the same sense that drawing a murder isn’t murder and drawing Noncon isn’t rape.

      Depiction isn’t harm, if it was damn near all literature would be in the same category.

      Let’s not go down that slippery slope.

      Books like Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret – Judy Blume would be considered abuse material on such an asinine slope.

        it’s literally legally defined as CSAM in most western countries. and I probably wouldn’t be arguing otherwise, since it looks like the other dude who did that got all his posts deleted by the mod.

      Read the plot summary of the play Equus linked above.

      Like I say, this sounds like the gaming equivalent of Equus, which, when performed, involves a character supposed to be 17 doing exactly that.

      The horses on stage are supposed to be “real” horses, but are performed by human actors. The male actor in these scenes is also typically nude.

      NGL, it’s a HEAVY play to read and even heavier to watch, but it also won the 1975 Tony Award for best play…
