Agony UNRATED confirmed for Switch; Details for UNRATED version released

Agony UNRATED confirmed for Switch; Details for UNRATED version released 1

Agony UNRATED was being teased for a few days and has been confirmed for release on October 31st, which is perfect for a game like this. The Kickstarter page went live yesterday with all the news and details regarding the game’s update.

The UNRATED version will be free for all backers. Backers will also receive the game two days prior to release. Agony owners will get a 90% discount for UNRATED, as reported by Madmin Studio, which is both the publisher and developer. They wrote the following on their Kickstarter page:

“We are aware that the premiere of our first game was disappointing for many players, as numerous technical errors and censored content effectively distracted from the game. We would like to apologize for the mistakes we made and to compensate players for a long time waiting for the UNRATED version, making it available at a significantly lower price.”

There were some legal issues the game developer was having earlier regarding a contractual obligation. Now, they seem like they’re in the clear.

Here are some features to the UNRATED edition that you get:

  • Improved character models
  • New enemies and threats
  • Deep character development system
  • New lighting system
  • New environment – the Forest
  • Tons of fresh, uncensored scenes
  • World map and minimap
  • Technical improvements

Agony UNRATED will only be released on the PC and Madmind will consider console release depending on sales. This is because the game is an “AO” rated game, which retailers won’t carry, thus the need for sales. A Nintendo Switch version will be released in 2018 and will be ported by Ultimate Games, however.

Agony censoring extreme content; beyond “Adults Only” rating

Agony censoring extreme content; beyond "Adults Only" rating 2

Agony is a game developed by Madmind Studios and has been heavily censored due to the controversial nature of its content.

It’s so bad that the dev team no longer allowed it to be planned as an Adult Only game due to legality. They announced that it would be banned and they’d be sued if they kept it the way it was. However, they were able to get some content approved by PEGI and similar rating organizations.

Agony was originally a failed Kickstarter campaign that didn’t get the funds needed to complete the game. It has you avoid monsters in an evil place and you need to escape it by following a goddess. It’s a horror first-person survival game released on Steam, Xbox One, and PS4 on May 29th.

Now, only a few seconds from two out of seven endings will be censored with some other unlockable scenes. The following will still be included in Agony:

  • Gore
  • Brutal Sex Scenes
  • Lesbian and Gay Sex Scenes
  • Genital Physics
  • Eye Gouging
  • Heart Plucking
  • Children Heads Exploding
  • Setting Fire to Martyrs and Demons
  • Intense Violence
  • Strong Language
  • Drugs

But the rest will be cut out.

They released a comparison video on May 30th, which showcases the differences of what got removed from the original version.
