Trauma art game He F—ed the Girl Out of Me releases on Steam

Previously only available on itch.io, Taylor McCue has released their traumatic Game Boy Color art game, He Fucked the Girl Out of Me, on Steam. You can now nab it there for the price of free.

I’ve covered He Fucked the Girl Out of Me a couple of times now, but it was something that burrowed under my skin and has lived there since. Being a semi-autobiographical retelling of a slew of problematic topics such as sex work, getting it on Steam is no small matter. For one thing, it gets lumped in with all the 18+ games that have names like Sex Campus Story. I mean sure, minors should probably not play either one, but one has clearly different goals.

While the game is free, there are a few donation options presented as DLC, which I think is kind of neat. Beyond simple game design, Taylor does quite a bit to help the queer game development community.

Again, however, I’d like to be clear in saying that you should be careful playing He Fucked the Girl Out of Me and definitely pay attention to the content warnings. Not everyone is going to have such a visceral reaction to the subject matter, but some will. I’d hate for someone to think they are just going to be playing a neat Game Boy Color game and walk away with vicarious trauma.

You’ve been warned, but if you still feel like checking out He Fucked the Girl Out of Me, you can get it now on Steam.
