HORSES has proven to be a highly controversial title with both Epic Games and Steam banning its release. However GOG, Humble Store and itch.io have all decided to keep it.
“HORSES is a 3-hour first-person horror adventure set over fourteen days on a rural farm, where you work as a summer hand under a cryptic farmer and follow “a few rules” that unravel into increasingly surreal, unsettling tasks. As the sun sets and the facade of tranquility crumbles, you decide whether to keep to the safe path or venture into the farm’s hidden depths. The game blends interactive scenes with live-action intermissions, monochrome visuals, and silent-cinema title cards, with unique gameplay events each day. It’s a game about the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility.”
I watched the trailer and this shit is fucked up. Not surprised it was banned, but on reflection I’m not sure what my line in the sand would be to determine what counts as obscene, so I’m also not surprised that stores were split on the decision.
