Steam Delisted STRIP Battle Action Cards
🕑 Added 2025-06-20 21:30:58 +0000 UTCTo everyone who was excited for this Steam launch (as well as myself), I'm disappointed to share that Steam has rejected my game and won't allow appeal or resubmission. My art style appears to be too cute for Steam to handle, even after the changes to Aya, Arc, Stella, and all the other adorable characters. I bent over backwards to make sure this game would be approved and I feel hurt by this so much. Your continued support here on Patreon means so much to me, especially when I would have relied on Steam to safely support myself otherwise.
I'm in a place of desperation currently, and am seeking your advice as to where the project will go from here. I no longer trust Steam to publish my adult games and was living with this worst case scenario for the past year since it happened to several of my other friends' games.
I have a few ideas as to what to do, including releasing STRIP Cards under a new title with SFW mode permanently enabled (as to avoid the sexual content that it was rejected for), or I could completely return the characters back to their original designs before I tried to change everything for Steam. I'd love to have a discussion with everyone in the replies so we can focus on making this a positive rejection. I'm generally optimistic but right now I feel so defeated.
This also affects how my future games (Splash 'n Flash, Bottomless Mines, Arc's BJ Training) will be designed going forward. Please leave your unfiltered suggestions below and I'll read all of them. 🙏

You can also do something like releasing a game in only SFW Version that you could buy and then in the game page put there a link for free NSFW patch to the game, i saw a couple games from Kagura Games did it that way.

I'll try that for my next game but unfortunately I can't resubmit STRIP Cards any more. The appeal didn't get accepted..

It shall be done

If possible try a SFW version for steam with a NSFW patch available on another website. Majority of adult games use this method on steam.

Revert the changes

Revert the change/add a style changer so people can alternate between the two! I only recently got into the game, but I love it and all you've done!

My vote would go for reverting the changes made for steam and continuing the game in original vision
Purgatory Productions
My only thought would be the Kagura Games route. SFW version on steam with a NSFW patch on Itch for people to download after the fact
Zero de Nova
WHY??? Black Souls is in Steam but not this game....damit steam.

Definitely still planning to launch there. I wanted to launch at the same time but I can do that this week.

So I understand Steam is on hold for a second but what about Itch.io? I know its not as big as steam but it's something for a for now solution
