Madmind’s VR Version of ‘Succubus’ Banned From Steam

Madmind Studio have once again courted the ire of Steam, this time with the VR version of their 2021 title, Succubus. Succubus: Hellish Orgy VR, which had been announced during MADNIGHT 2023, has been banned from the service.

Reported by our friends at RelyOnHorror, Hellish Orgy VR was scheduled to be released Q1 2023 on Steam VR, but has now had its Steam page wiped (though you can still find it on SteamDB). According to Madmind, Hellish Orgy VR was removed from Steam for being “too disturbing.” Valve reportedly had concerns over the titles “drastic content”, though didn’t get into specifics as to what that entailed.

Though honestly, given that the game was described as casting the player as the servant of Queen Vydija (the titular Succubus from the game), and tasked to do everything to satisfy her macabre desires, you can draw your own conclusions.

It’s not the first time that Madmind has drawn the attention of Valve. Their first title, Agony (which also has a VR version out now), faced its own issues with Valve when players were given a copy of the unrated version as a bonus for purchasing the censored M-rated version of the game (which was Madmind’s intention). That unrated version subsequently disappeared from players’ libraries, before reappearing again on Steam.

Madmind explained in a later post on Steam that games with themes similar to Agony and Succubus “often face some difficulties on this platform.”

Meanwhile, Madmind is continuing development on another game set in the Agony and Succubus universe with Agony: Lords of Hell, which is currently in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign.

‘Resident Evil’ Fan Film ‘The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story’ Premieres June 30

Resident Evil fans wanting to finally see Andrew Saullo‘s Resident Evil fan film The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story won’t have to wait much longer. In fact, you’ll be able to check it out this Sunday! Exclusively on Residence of Evil YouTube Channel, The Keeper’s Diary: A Biohazard Story will premiere for free on June 30th at 10am PST/12pm CST/1pm EST.

The official X account for the crowdfunded film dropped the news early this morning. There’s still no word on if plans are still in motion for the film to get a live screening for fans.

Inspired by the original Resident Evil and its 2002 remake, The Keeper’s Diary is an adaptation of the diary entry of the same name found in the Spencer Mansion. It summarizes a researcher (played by Charlie Kraslavsky, who played Chris Redfield in the live-action cutscenes in Resident Evil) succumbing to a viral outbreak in an underground research facility. The film will also feature the talents of Ward E. Sexton, aka that guy who did the “Resident Evil” voiceover when you started a new game.

Alongside Kraslavsky, the film stars Gracie Madsen as Jill Valentine and Frank Scalabrino. Composer Duane C. Merritt provided the score for The Keeper’s Diary, with Andy Cox as producer.

The film had an Indiegogo campaign launched last August, with the goal of raising $40,000 was achieved in 30 days. Saullo has also done Resident Evil cast reunion videos starring Charlie Kraslavsky, Greg Smith and Eric Pirius (Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker), including a short film Resident Evil: Resurrection that saw all three reprising their iconic characters.
