To me, the best part of Mafia: The Old Country is getting really into the idea of pretending you're living in 1900s Sicily and drinking in the gorgeous vistas that the game's world offers up like sips of wine. You can imagine, then, how keen I was to give its new first-person driving mod a go.

Having already knife-fought my way through the main story, I thought this sounded like a pleasant change of perspective to take in when motoring around the Valle Dorata, hoovering up the last of those Explore Mode collectibles. I wasn't wrong either, the mod's great. Well, when it's not accidentally showing you the back of Enzo's teeth and eye sockets.

Into the Unwell is a cooperative hack n' slash roguelite where your characters – cartoonish yet barely upright lost souls, one and all – draw fighting prowess from their vices. My vice, it turns out, is booting sentient pizza slices off cliff edges. It certainly makes me feel better.

Update: Itch.io have responded to the report from Trans News Network on Bluesky, claiming the article is "full of misinformation". "I haven't had a chance to look up everything individually, but I do want to note that we have [an] existing set of indexing rules that can impact indexing," the storefront's account wrote in a separate reply. "There are circumstances where pages may get marked as requiring human review before being eligible for indexing. This is completely independent of the indexing eligibility change for adult works."

Original story follows:

Following Itch.io's mass delisting of adult games in response to pressure from payment processors, a new report includes claims from LGBTQ+ devs that safe-for-work titles with lesbian or yuri themes have also been affected.

Both Itch and Valve changed their rules on adult content last month, with the issue evolving into a complex pointing of fingers which traced from the storefronts, to credit card companies, and on to an Australian protest group. That group, Collective Shout, claimed responsibility for exerting the initial pressure that got the ball rolling. Itch.io have since allowed free adult games back onto the platform, but paid ones currently remain on the naughty step as the storefront seeks new payment processors.
