Vile: Exhumed, an FMV horror game about parasocial obsession, was pulled from Steam last year after Valve came under pressure from payment processors Visa and Mastercard to remove certain "adult" content, despite the game containing no nudity and instead exploring themes such as sexual assault. A year on, creator Cara Cadaver (Final Girl Games) is releasing a $10 physical edition of the game, framing it as an act of defiance against the censorship row and a way to secure the title's long-term accessibility.

The physical release will come in a jewel case with distressed paper inserts, packaged to resemble a black plastic bag sealed with duct tape, and fans can sign up to be notified when it goes on sale. Half of the proceeds will go to a charity supporting families, refugees and women escaping violence. After the ban, Cadaver had made the game a free download and accepted donations directly, saying no one should dictate "what kind of horror is acceptable" or "what stories are allowed to be told."
