‘VILE: Exhumed’ Banned From Steam
Things just got more bizarre regarding DreadXP’s VILE: Exhumed. After being delayed from its original release last week, developer Final Girl Games has announced that the game has subsequently been banned from Steam.
In an update from Final Girl Games’ Cara Cadaver, Steam has banned the narrative horror game from the service over “sexual content with depictions of real people.” This is despite the fact that all sexual content in the game is implied.
“I refuse to censor or make changes to the game, I will not retell a story about these topics in a way to make people who don’t understand it more comfortable,” says Cadaver. Indeed, Aaron in his recent editorial noted that VILE: Exhumed does deal with rather heavy subject matter, but it’s all text-based.
Incidently, the version of VILE: Exhumed found on itch.io, which is an earlier version of the game, has not been removed, despite containing much the same content. According to Cara, DreadXP will be providing updates via X as to where players can play the game.
In VILE: Exhumed, you will explore the remnants of a stranger’s mind through the decaying interface of an old computer, piecing together the disturbing narrative hidden within corrupted files, old abandoned forums, and emails. Every discovery brings you closer to the truth, and deeper into the rot of the mind.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
