    Is this the…um…incest game? Is that why they’re being harassed? Or is it something else I’m ootl on?

      This is the exact type of comment that led the dev to abandon everything.

      It’s not “the incest game”, the topic of incest barely even appears only if you make several specific choices in the game, and even then it’s never painted in a good light.

        I want to be absolutely clear that I don’t condone doxxing or harassment, and people should be free to push boundaries in artistic endeavors.

        But you only get to Bowser in 8-4 if you make several specific choices in the game, and it seems like the main draw of the game is being edgy with sexy cartoons. If it didn’t want to be “the incest game” then it shouldn’t really have incest in it. That’s a controversial choice, and if the developer didn’t know that, they didn’t read or watch Game of Thrones.

          Even the first episode of the game was rife with incestuous undertones. I fully support the dev in their art, but it’s hard to say it’s not an incest game.

          People just need to grow up. Weird things happen all the time. We can’t be puritanical and pretend it doesn’t exist.

            To be fair, judging by the fact it’s either incest or people getting knives/cleavers put up against their throats, i’m going to go on a wild guess and say it doesn’t paint it in a positive light. Maybe even suggests there’s something wrong with them.

        Genuinely thank you for clarifying and yeah, I realize I’m kind of being part of the problem here, but that is literally all I know about the game because of the internet mob.

        Every time I tried to ask anything about it on Reddit or Twitter I would get shouted down because of the “problematic content”, and that is all the topic would devolve into. The creator doesn’t deserve to be bullied or doxxed over it, even if the entire story WAS about incest. That really sucks.

      It cannot really be about that, there are tons of incest porn games on Steam that pass largely unremarked upon, and this seems way less explicit than most of them. Surely if someone wanted to punish incest game creators, they’d start with one that’s way more explicitly incesty?

      I think they just decided to bully these devs, in particular, and whatever they say it’s about is just a pretext for the bullying.

    Meh…it’s a modern version of Postal. Edge Lord falls off the edge. I strongly shrug at all.

    I like how people blame X/Twitter like it’s still a problem when it’s clear its reach has diminished due to executive actions.

    On a positive note the incompetent morons trying to harass this dev have now blown this game up a fair bit more than it would’ve gotten otherwise, so hopefully she’ll make enough money to be able to comfortably ignore the morons.

    I’m going to look into it, not sure if I’ll buy or not but it certainly seems like an interesting game.

    If anyone else is interested this is the games steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2378900/The_Coffin_of_Andy_and_Leyley/

    Overwhelmingly positive so far, pretty good looking reviews as well.
