Goth Dating Sim 2022 - YoruShika
Hi everyone
So um... the shit that happened after the game's release was indeed something I was NOT expecting at all.
It was meant to be a game about awareness, showing how trauma can affect a person. The game was made about myself due to me NOT wanting to be disrespectful, I thought it would be the best way of showing it that way since I know myself the most. It was meant to look like a dating sim at first just because of how many times people wanted to date me, that made me think it could fit, it doesn't mean I have a big ego since that's another thing based on my reality. A Mario character is often referenced and even included as a secret ending not because I couldn't think of a character myself, it's because of how big his role in my life is. His role is so important that I ended up marrying him last summer, which... find it funny or not, but that is a thing that took place. Some other characters have been referenced as plushies as well and that was made for my friends.
Yet that's not how the public received it, so...
I decided to get this game taken down as soon as possible since I think that will be the best option. I contacted the SteamWorks team about it earlier today.
I'm sorry to whoever enjoyed this game, but I can't really deal with so much stress and harassment.
Do not expect any more games from me since after this experience I know it's just putting heart and effort into nothing.
Even the game's reviews often tend to be straight up hateful while the positive ones barely have anything to say, that just proved me how much of a mistake keeping the game up would be.
Since Steam is meant for games made by professionals I think a game made by a single 18-year old isn't exactly fitting.
I'm sorry for the trouble I had to cause, even if I didn't mean to do so.
