Releasing tomorrow as initially planned. I think it's one of the few times I've ever seen fan petitions work. And it helps the whole situation was completely bogus in the first place.

Why was it banned in the first place? I find it hard to believe they'd ban anything since they sell actual porn games on Steam.

Also, the girl's eyes in that article's pic is so far apart. Not a fan of that art style.

Makes sense, the game was only being blocked because the staff member assigned to review it hates visual novels.

Yeah, there wasn't any real reason to ban it due to the reason above stated.

never should have been banned in the first place
i love visual novels.......when they are porn
the worst porn games are ones that require you to play with both hands
visual novels dont need that since the gameplay is just making choices to alter the story which is ideal for adult entertainment.

some of them even have really decent storylines. like if you removed all the gay sex scenes from the game full service its plot and characters would still hold up

The grisaia yes trilogy on switch is great, yeah. That said, the sex scenes add a lot to the character development.

There really isn't any. If you've heard of the VN/anime Steins;Gate, it's part of a larger series called Science Adventure, of which Chaos;Head is the first of them. Steam has had a history now of being really inconsistent with what VNs are allowed or not. Literal porn and other trash has gotten through while others like this and Muramasa (which you can go and buy on GOG, even) get whacked.

Muramasa publishers actually had contact with Valve beforehand and were told of what to do to pass before they submitted it for approval and when they did, still got banned. It really feels like it's a matter of some random asshole working there and it's a matter of luck of if it lands on their desk or not that day.

"Valve's content review team, the group that made the original decision, has re-examined CHAOS;HEAD NOAH and decided to reverse course and allow the game to ship on Steam, as is. We've also examined the process that led to the previous decision about CHAOS;HEAD NOAH, and made some changes to avoid situations like this in the future."

lol so it really was just some rogues that was the problem with this.

Maybe. Maybe not.

If the 'rogues' were interpreting Valve's rules in a specific way then Valve needed to step in and clarify them.

Regardless the issue seems to be fixed.

ive only read chaos;head (whatever the very first one was), steins;gate and steins;gate zero

i love the first half of chaos;head (except for the protagonist) just due to the mood and atmosphere of the murder mystery happening then but then the second half turned into the dumbest shit when the girls whipped out their swords and everything after that

steins;gate was amazing the whole way through, it was my favourite sci-fi for years until Aegis Rim came along. Steins;Gate 0 was alright but didn't live up to the original IMO.

Would I like any other games in this franchise?

I feel like you might like chaos;child, it's only vaguely linked to chaos;head so it doesn't really matter if the ending bugged you. it's got a really great early horror/mystery atmosphere, imo a lot better than chaos head's since you actually see stuff instead of just following some guy staring at his ceiling and/or his anime figures all day. basically like, the protagonist is actually good and involved in the story

True. Gabe's done it a few times now I believe but he's apparently been a lot less active.
