A violent and sexually explicit video game called No Mercy has sparked international backlash and political condemnation, with it being removed from the Steam platform globally after being banned in multiple countries.
What Is the Game About?
No Mercy appeared on the PC gaming platform Steam in early April. The game allowed players to control a character who rapes, tortures and kills women. It did not carry an age rating or content warning and was described by some users and critics as a “rape simulator.”
No Mercy features scenes in which the player rapes a woman, who then becomes pregnant, gives birth to a baby, and is then murdered along with her newborn.
The game was created by developer Zerat Games and included scenes of extreme violence and sexual assault. It was available for a short time before being removed.
