The Steam release for MangaGamer’s upcoming yuri visual novel “Kindred Spirits” will be completely devoid of censorship, a rather shocking revelation considering Steam’s dedicated commitment toward purging titles of sexual content unless they contain equal amounts of violence – and causing many to hope that this may be the start of a “new era” for western released visual novels.
Whilst fans might be rejoicing at this, those familiar with the title likely cannot help but notice that it is actually quite light in terms of explicit sexual content, perhaps why the censorship was not required.
The opening movie for Kindred Spirits, released quite a while ago:
Whether this apparent policy change will be applied to all visual novels that arrive on Steam, or if this was merely a once off has yet to be established – but it is no secret that most visual novel fans are rooting for the former.
So this is what accounts for beautiful? A story about lesbians who happen to be man haters? Pfft. If it wasn’t for the “Lesbian’s are perfect goddesses” propaganda that gets shoved out by otaku’s of the most beta kind to convince all females that lesbo is the only way to go, I might be intrerested in a story about the past lives of two female lovers who couldn’t achieve a certain dream before dying. A dream maybe of being able to move to America and marry, or even marry at home in general.
This is the kind of retarded s♥♥t that makes what Hayao Miyazaki says about the industry TRUE and in need of fixing. f♥♥k THIS s♥♥t. BURN IT DOWN AND BURN THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY IT.
Only because it is yuri. Apparently penis is evil.
Nope, not into yuri.
There’s absolutely nothing warranting censorship in this game – as far as steam “rules” go. There isn’t even a cameltoe through panties, not mentioning any private parts directly visible.
So not sure where is the “new era” coming from. Release game with genitals on steam without censoring, and then we will have a new era.
true. This is more of a quarter step forward. When one can buy a vn with tons of explicit sex then we’ve hit a new era.
Slow progress is ok as long as it doesn’t take 5-10 years for nekopara to be sold uncensored on steam.
This is much ado about nothing. Steam will never allow the depiction of vaginas or erect penises. Nothing has changed.
Yes, it’s beautiful, so beautiful.
