Steam have BANNED and removed Super Seducer 3 from the store. They will not allow it to be released in any form.
Our page is gone and 61,700 wish lists are gone.
Prior to this they told me expect either “approval or feedback”.
We repeatedly said we’d do whatever they needed
I said I’d never make another Super Seducer game and I won’t.
BUT...
I’d be very happy to work with some streamers to make an SS4 and help with the whole process behind the scenes as long as I’m not in it and not publishing it. 😊
Who would like to see it/be part of it?
Any YouTubers or Streamers want to be in Super Seducer 3? We need a cool and confident barman (quite a big part - in 8 choices), filming on 24th Feb in Eastern Europe!
In the Steam version of SS3 we had these achievements.
I wanted to show my appreciation to three guys who went out of their way to help out and support the game.

Super Seducer 3 is now on sale!
Exclusively at GamesPlanet.
This is both the uncensored and censored version.
DRM-free and with timed bonus.
We think it’s the best SS game and hope you agree :)
Help me figure out why it got banned if you can!
To be clear, Steam:
1. Rejected both uncensored & censored (Twitch) versions.
2. Never gave any specifics of what content they didn’t like.
3. Also blocked our demo which was the gym level censored.
4. Said that if I got an ESRB-M rating that would not affect their decision.
@vgdunkey
hey mate, I will make the $25k donation on the 28th December and post the proof on my Twitter in a new Tweet. Video is very funny, didn't disappoint :)
Would love to see
@vgdunkey
make a Super Seducer 2 video. If he does, I'll give $25,000 to the charity of his choice. Dunkey, DM me and I'll send the cash and post proof before you even make the video 😊 If not, no biggie and still love your videos!
This is so tiring. We just want to release the game.
I've told them that we are ready to make any changes, provide the releases and passports of all actresses to show they are over 18...whatever is needed to satisfy their rules.
I really hope it'll be faster than this
Kind of good news. SS3 got rejected again. But this time I got clearer guidelines on what we need to do.
So I've gone from being 50/50 on getting approved to almost 100%.
The only downside is how long it will take. I think we are looking at around 10 days realistically.
My wife and I have been working through this stress and we never say "If only we had..." because they even rejected the ultra-tame demo.
We still have no idea and feel that it could even be political or personal. If not why not give us a clear example of what was not okay?
We submitted a build to Steam yesterday that has more targeted cuts based on their more specific feedback & lawyer advice🤞
I got so much support from you guys during the past month & I appreciate it very much. It's much easier to deal with adversity when you don't feel alone❤️
GOTY going to be a really tough call this year
No idea whether it’ll be:
1. Super Seducer 2
2. Super Seducer
3. God of War
or
1. Super Seducer
2. Super Seducer 2
3. God of War
Could go either way to be honest!
Update: When SS3 got banned I felt sick whenever I thought about it, for a few days🤢
After a week or two it already didn't have that visceral bad feeling.
Now nothing.
We tried to focus on all the good stuff we have and not let this hurt our long-term health or mood 😊
@terrysalt
Yes we'll have something ready this week. I am aiming for Tuesday or Wednesday. The coders need to go back to our original intended build and get a few other things ready.
Looks like all Super Seducer games removed as Twitch categories. I didn't want people to stream uncensored SS3 (and the game warns not to), but not sure what that has to do with SS1 & 2. Question: If SS games are not on Twitch's list of prohibited games then we are okay?
We have a couple of big anniversaries coming up:
1Super Seducer 1, Five Year Anniversary on March 6th.
28 Years since I met my wife on Feb 14th.
So we decided to do a casual re-enactment of our date from SS1.
@nymnion
Hey
@nymnion
Yeah we can probably do something. I am going to tweet when we have a suitable filming date and then will see who wants to come and be in it :)
Not making games and focusing on:
-Spending quality time with my wife.
-Health and fitness.
-Helping others.
-Learning new things.
-Doing what I enjoy.
-Trying not to be bummed out by world events.
Picture 1 - SS3 level filmed in July 2020.
Picture 2 - Now.
Update: We submitted the censored build to Steam on Friday. I haven't heard back yet.
Unfortunately a lot of people are going to be unhappy and blame me because the release date is set as today...but I can't change it! I hope to hear back from Steam with more solid info soon 🙁
SS3 New Release Date: SS3 was due on 13th Feb, but our data models showed that only 70% of singles would have time to play it and get a date by Valentine’s. By moving to 12th Feb, we can achieve 120%. That’s everyone who plays + 1/5 of players who also secure dates for friends.
I found this evidence:
Steam changed their terms!
Nov ’20: No Pornography.
Jan '21: No Adult Content requiring age verification.
-SS3 Submitted-
Today: No Sexually Explicit Images of real people.
(see images)
How is that fair? Why would they not work with us?
Hi friends! Here is my plan for the SS3 pre-release keys ☺️
5th Feb: 3 to streamers who are in the game!
6th Feb: 47 to “My Day One Seducers” who I have in Twitter DMs. If you’ve ever DM’d me, that’s you.
7th onward: To those who've played previous games and that I can DM.
I'm embarrassed.
Steam just announced a sale during the time when SS3 was due.
People tell me it’s bad for visibility to launch during a sale.
I decided to move the launch to the 15th.
Sorry! I’m not so great at the publishing stuff and still figuring lots of things out.
Feature update:
#Deadcells
is one of my favorite games and it has a “Custom Mode” where you can choose what weapons/traps to start with. I like the idea so Super Seducer 3 will feature an unlockable Custom Mode too with 6 or 7 ways to change the game. Will help replayability!
Super Seducer 1 & 2 won’t be coming to Switch
Games fully ported and had been through 1 QA round.
We did check initially and N said they'd publish if we got appropriate ratings.
I’m not so surprised and do not blame Nintendo - was probably due to Steam & controversy worries.
Charlotte from SS2 is going to be super confused when she sees all these comments from
@xQc
's followers. I'm waiting for her to message asking me what POGGERS means.
Absolutely loving Elden Ring so far, already one of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Playing offline on PS5.
PC version on Steam has lower review score than Super Seducer games 😢
SS3 Update: Still working on it, here I am writing away furiously. No lockdown here, but we are slowed down due to travel restrictions - waiting to fly in some girls and finish. Game is better for the delay! I'll have a teaser trailer and announce the release date next month.
Today is 7 years since I met my wife!
We have a great relationship and it’s still getting better.
We are together almost 24/7.
I don’t post personal stuff often but wanted to be an example of people who found a soulmate and are very happily married 😊
Happy Valentine’s ❤️
Does anyone at all have a contact at
@Steam
who they could ask to take a look at this?
It’s so unfair that we don’t want to give up.
Obviously we didn’t set out to break their rules.
Even if they overturn the decision in 6 months or year, it would be worth it to us.
In the 60 min before
@Steam
BANNED our demo, we got 5,000 extra visits to the store page and around 300 more wish lists.
The festival would have been huge for us.
As it is I'll be worried for 11 more days about them banning or shadow banning the full launch. Totally demotivated.
BIG NEWS!
Super Seducer 1 & 2 are coming to Nintendo Switch in a console exclusive!
Release date is TBA but will be around Valentine’s Day.
Also will start porting SS3 as soon as it’s out on Steam so expect SS3 on Switch in Q3 '21.
Very happy to finally have SS on consoles ☺️
SS3 features a new innovation in gaming.
Check it out: An action will happen on screen(eg putting on your shoes), you'll need to quickly press a sequence of buttons. It either goes well (successfully put on shoes) or badly (you crumble to dust).
We call it Rapid Time Situations™
Super Seducer 3 now live on
@itchio
!
Have a little discount during the launch period and lower pricing for some other countries.
Also working on a 3rd listing, currently under review. Itch had no approvals process. Humble Bundle said "no".
I’m here about 270 miles from Kiev and 400 from Moscow in Russian-speaking Belarus. Many people have family ties to Russia and Ukraine.
No one thinks war is coming, even if they’re anti Putin. It’s not even a discussion subject.
People are surprised by Western press hysteria.
Good article! Steam’s removal of the “no pornography” rule means all porn games are welcome as long as they don’t have real people.
Also does SS3 really have “sexually explicit images of real people” in either the uncensored or censored version?
What are the rules for publishing adult games on Steam? It seems that no one knows for certain, not even Valve — and that's having an impact on developers.
Update: The reason is which seems to work like Wikipedia. All 3 SS games are marked "erotic" and so are removed as categories from Twitch. If someone has weight there and can reverse for SS1 & 2 would appreciate. Thanks to
@Play_Per_View
for the info.
The full release version of SS3 will have a toggle to switch between censored/uncensored.
The uncensored version is not Adults Only, it’s about as sexy as a music video….just potentially too much for Twitch so we wanted to play it safe and let you play without stress!
2/2
@TommasoDS
Yeah it seems like that to me too. If you look at those messages they almost seem like trolling, spending more time talking about the $100 steam direct fee than why they are banning the game.
Today is the one-year anniversary of the Super Seducer 1 release! We also recently crossed 200,000 total units :) We have some updates coming for both games in the next couple of months, including the long-awaited Twitch integration and Korean language support :)
We are going to have some major updates for SS1 and SS2 around the time of the SS3 launch.
We have big new features in SS3 including the “Custom Game” and we’ll be rolling those back to the previous games to make 2.0 versions of them ☺️
Would be nice to recover some of the porting costs.
Maybe a long shot....but does anyone think selling like 3 copies of each of the ROMs as NFTs might generate decent money? Assuming it's even legal to sell in some form.
We were supposed to launch Super Seducer 2 today at 10am PT but it looks like we are going to be late. This is the 2nd round since submitting to Steam on 31st August, the first had a few minor requests which we corrected. I'm still hoping we'll be approved and launch this week.
@SilentChazy
Yes definitely. It'll be released this week! Just working out the details and the coders not working at the weekend. Aiming for release on Wednesday.
Dealing with Nutaku was a real pleasure compared to Steam 😊
As you can see in the screenshot, Steam’s feedback was vague and unhelpful despite having 2 successful games with them 🧐
Nutaku were totally clear (“cut drug references here and here”).
That is how it should be done!
Just got the official answer from Microsoft: "At this time the concept approval team does not feel that Super Seducer 2 is a fit for release through the ID
@Xbox
program"
Steam/Valve Censorship? 😢 Super Seducer 3 had a one level demo in the Steam Game Festival. It was there for the first hour (see before and after screenshots below) and is still shown in search. Visibility was not great apart from it being in the "popular upcoming" list. 1/5
Let's give this a go...
First Full Video Game NFT
Super Seducer 1 for Nintendo Switch
THREE Copies Only.
Probably the rarest Switch game ever.
Check it out here:
We are looking for more music for SS3. If you make suitable music (chilled electronic with no or few lyrics) and own the rights, we can pay. Please email Alexandra dylkinaaleksandra

.com The one essential thing is that it can't be copyright claimed on Twitch, YT etc.
ChatGPT on Super Seducer level ideas 😂 and how to invite someone you are on a date with to your house for sex 🤣 not allowed!!
A fundamental problem with AI is that it can’t make up its own “mind” so it will just reinforce the dominant view.
In case you missed it, SS3 is on Gamesplanet and they launched the DLC yesterday:
Thanks to everyone who picked up a copy of the game and supported us!
