Link to the game is kinda hidden in the article: https://dreadxp.com/vile-is-banned/.
-
I mean, the article embeds a video plastered with "VILEISBANNED.COM" in warning tape–style text.

In case anyone is wondering, you can add the .exe to steam via games -> add non steam game.
Then once added go to game properties -> compatibility-> force compatibility -> proton
Idk if you need to force it or not but that's what i did and it's working

The dev's name is Cara Cadaver. Can't get any better of a name for a horror game dev.
-
Well guess better go get this game. How can I support them financially?
-
It says on the article and the website they accept donations :)
-
Yeah found it downloading game now, also made a donation.

you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
-
Is it similar to Her Story?
-
Not sure how I feel about the dev using the internet archive to distribute the game.
By the way, who put it in the "Community software" collection? The game is not open source.
-
What's wrong with using the internet archive?
-
Noting wrong with the IA whatsoever. But given how harshly they've been treated by basically every government and corporate interest groups they've been forced to contend with foot the last few years, and the regular DDOSes, I personally always feel guilty downloading things from them and spending more of their resources on "relatively frivolous" things.
-
It paints a target on IA as a piracy distro while it’s plainly not. IA is not in the piracy game but using it to distribute questionable content can raise flags elsewhere.

I used my Mastercard to donate to the dev. Eat shit credit card companies.
Interesting point but... what else can we do? Mail the dev cash? PayPal direct from bank? CRYPTO. I completely forgot about crypto because of all the shady bullshit. But we buy crypto with... Mastercard. Shit.
The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.
I'm not saying it's ideal, and I understand your point....but it's better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.
Good job paying Mastercard with your rebellion dollars.
Me too fuck them. Maybe we can make this a trend start selling games direct and stop using Steam and Epic etc platforms. Do it how they did back during the old days as shareware.
MasterCard would allow this!?! Wow, this reflects so badly upon them!
