"Kindred Spirits on the Roof was quite the surprise. Developed by Liar-soft and published in English by MangaGamer, Kindred Spirits on the Roof tells the story of two female ghosts who died without experiencing sex for the first time, mainly because they died at different times. With the help of a student, the trio bring together various women in order for the two ghosts to learn how two women have sex. Despite the premise, the story happens to be great, The characters are interesting, the art style is nice and the music is enjoyable. However, it does have a few issues." - Attack On Gaming
After Valve threatened publishers and developers of visual novels with mild adult content, MangaGamer has found a new home for its titles.

I love GOG and I hope they make themselves a home for visual novels, especially ones with a little fan service.
It looks like Steam is going to regulate itself to death. On one hand they can't stop the influx of cheap crap games and unfinished games, on the other hand they crack down on legit games because of fan service. It's kind of sad to watch.
Come On Gabe and his team. What is the point of the media touting that majority of gamers are in their 30s or older and still treated like kids. What is wrong with adult content on games?
After a couple of rather tense days for independent visual novel developers, it appears that Steam is taking a softer approach to the issue.
Good. I don't need Steam to be moral puritans that tell me what's appropriate for me to buy and play.
I have to give it to huniepot devs they really push and fight back to defend their products. It’s a shame that the puritan disease has spread into the valve storefront. Adult games have a right to exist especially in a digital download store. What’s the problem with putting the games behind a credit card access area to avoid young prying eyes? I don’t know any 10 yr olds with credit cards. It’s infuriating to me that this bs continues to happen. That dismembered heads and gore is ok but sex and nudity is not. That murder porn thrives but sexual content is shunned. I can understand the ban on consoles but this should not be an issue on PC.
Anything can be modded and patched on PC. Valve is stupid. What exactly they trying to avoid? Being sued? Why skirt around the adult content of games? Just dip your toes in the sexual currents of adult content with games like elven love and a censored VR konojo? It’s rediculous just jump in already there’s money to be made in this area. Leave the censorship to consoles games. PC games can be modded and patched for sexual content but that requires navigation to other sites and a bit of knowledge on modding games. This should not even be necessary with PC games. Just sell the dam games as is use the rating system.
At any rate should steam continue with their non inclusive contradictory way of dealing with the sexual content of games because they have no spine in dealing with a few raging puritans who can’t deal with nudity. Go to FAKKU or DSLITE among others who thrive selling sexualized games for ADULTS who can deal with such content as ADULTS. Because apparently steam thinks only kids buy games.
Digital download portals specialized in adult video games reach out to help developers affected by Valve's recent crackdown.
Valve what are you going to do to stop school shootings?
“We’re gunna ban naked women, cause women are the root of man’s evils”
Honestly disgusting that Valve would pull this kind of stunt literally overnight for developers and publishers. Especially the games that got express permission beforehand and have been on the storefront for years now.
Right of the bat, Steam/Valve is not in the adult entertainment industry and that was made clear as F. This decision was not just a Steam thing. It was feedback, ethics and professionalism. Sorry. We don’t want your wackoff material on the gamespace. We don’t want any instances/data/etc. of that material on the site/app. Upset with that? Go confide in your sticky anime pillow or take your hairy palm (just one for obvious reasons) off the keyboard and go upstairs and ask your mom to write in a letter.
