The game, called Rape Day, encouraged players to "verbally harass, kill, and rape women", and contained themes of "violence, sexual assault, non-consensual sex, obscene language, necrophilia and incest". Rape Day hit the headlines earlier this week, after it emerged that it was being reviewed by Valve for inclusion on Steam - the world's biggest online store for PC games.

Some online commentators have criticised Valve for not going far enough in condemning the game and its one-man developer, Desk Plant. However, Desk Plant is not deterred by the setback, and claims he will try to find or create an alternative way of selling and marketing Rape Day.
