Agony , a hammy survival horror game about a soul trying to escape Hell by finding someone called the Red Goddess, was released by Madmind Studios in 2018. An adults only version called Agony Unrated followed after some uncertainty. Perhaps
due to censorship issues, the game was reportedly cancelled but somehow appeared on Steam anyway as a free bonus for owning the original game. Agony Unrated later vanished from the Steam libraries of players who received it. Madmind Studio posted a
blog explaining that the two games were delinked by Steam: As most of you know, until now, if you bought Agony you also received a copy of Agony UNRATED in your library. This was always our intended way to do this and
that didn't change. As some of you are also aware, games with themes similar to ours can often face some difficulties on this platform.
Unfortunately, we still don't have full knowledge on why they were
delinked and we're unable to link the games again using our own tools, so we're now in contact with Steam support to work out the solution that'll satisfy everyone. The reason that led to this situation is probably (that's our
guess) because some players who intentionally bought the game in the censored version also got access to the uncensored version, which Steam did not want. On February 23, Madmind explained it had put together bundles for Agony owners
that would discount Agony Unrated to the maximum amount possible in each region, which is anywhere between 65% and 95% off. Obviously, that's not the same as free and is a temporary solution. |
