New York Post • • technology
Key Points:
- The developers of the new “Halloween” video game removed a controversial minigame that allowed the character Dr. Loomis to engage in sexual interactions with teen characters after early access release on September 4.
- The minigame involved players hiding together and filling a heart meter to simulate consensual sexual activity, which was implied through shaking rooms and audible moans but not explicitly shown.
- The feature sparked backlash due to the character being modeled after the late actor Donald Pleasence and the inappropriate nature of the interactions, leading to its removal on Sunday.
- Some gamers criticized the removal as an overreaction, expressing disappointment on social media platforms like Reddit and X, while the developers have not commented publicly.
- The game is set for a wide release on September 8.
