Hey everyone,

Today we've launched the store page for The Seven Realms on Steam.



Even if you don't plan to buy the game on Steam, if you'd be so kind as to wishlist it to help push us up on the 'Coming Soon' pages, it would really help us out!

Hope you're all having a great day!
I wish i could.... idk what the problem is with the german law, but cant see AVN's on steam... What a Prude Country lel
(And no i dont use a VPN even if i did, doesnt change anything cause my Steam Account was created in Germany steam blocks this store switching with vpn unfortunately.)

Kinda easy to explain. German Gov want to have a legit age verification process for the steam store, steam said no and decided to geoblock germany for adult content. It's easier for them to block a country and it costs less then implement an age verification (what could mean, that they make less money because minors cannot buy 18+ games anymore).

Okay makes sense i guess. from both German Gov and Valve.

it makes me wonder why are other country's not that strict with this age verification thing? I mean Fuck, you cant even drink
alcohol legaly under 21 in the US but dont have to verify ur age online? Strange.

Then don't read it. If you don't like it, no need to come here bitch about it, move on. They are the ones creating a "THEIR" own story. If your posting here, you are getting it for free, so this literally cost you nothing.

Never saw a point in this, don't get me wrong, I've balked at some creators work(Mostly because I was deep into the story and it was great and then all sudden they just shit all over everything they did before without a reason & made no sense). But at end of the day, it's still their work.
I agree with you. He should do his research on the content of the games he plays and avoid it and move on if he feels this strongly about it. But at the same time i can understand his frustration Lesbian content is the largest forced content on this site. Some will throw incest content at you for forced content but i don't count it because it has to be patched in. You can't patch out lesbian content although sometimes can be avoidable or skipable.

Yes, i do.
Just a question, what is with the already purchased games then ? how do you access those ? or is the Blocade only for the 18+ games, knowing how the Law works in Germany If Steam dont join "FSK" (acronym for Voluntary auto Control equivalent to the US age restriction) No games at all am I right ?

The already purchased ones stay, you paid them, they cannot delete them from your account. For other games like e.g. Dying Light (the first one) that is not accessible through the german store, you can purchase it from other sources (keystores) and add it to the library, that is possible and has no restrictions at all. It would be possible for porn games as well i guess, but they have no keys available at keystores.

The FSK has no leverage at all, they are just giving recommandations. The one with impact is the USK (Entertainmentsoftware Control), they are setting the Age restrictions for the sales shops. But they are becoming softer over the years, i guess in idk 5-10 years, they're gone at all.

The story has been so good so far I'm looking forward to season 2
Thanks so much, we're really glad you're enjoying it!

Next update gonna be a standalone update ?? If yes, saves from previous update needed for playing it ??
Realm 2 will be a continuation of Realm 1, so saves will be continued from your current saves. We still just need to work out the best way to do everything with regard to that, like a whole game download and potentially offering a Realm 2-only download to reduce people having to download bigger and bigger files each time. We will communicate it nearer the release, once we've worked it all out :)

So, this is going to be released on Steam with only 60 minutes of gameplay? Oof that is going to be rough. :unsure:
I understand needing support, but Early Access games with that little of content can make players nuke your reviews and put the game in an early hole.
The animals over there are a lot harder to please than us pirates. ;)
Unless the initial release is labeled more of a demo and playable for free, then you are probably golden. (y)

Where did you see sixty minutes? :unsure: the game won't be early access. We wouldn't have put the game on Steam with that little content. We wanted something more substantial first.

We will be releasing on Steam episodically, and this release will be 'Realm 1', which is everything we've done so far. Depending on play speed, it's 6 - 8 hours of content, at around 84 thousand words :)

Oh well that makes more sense then. :giggle:
I just saw 60 minutes of gameplay in the changelog that said realm 1 complete. I realize now that probably just meant that update, my bad. :p
I was not wishing it to have problems, I hope it does well, it looks amazing. I Wish listed it. :love:
I just remember Inceton put that crappy mess Inside Jennifer on Steam and was mystified when it got nuked for having no audio at all. Some folks over there are a bit picky.
On the other hand, if FreshWomen can sell 200k units in a few months and have about the same amount of content, probably less actually, unless you replay the lewd scenes, this game should do quite well. ;)

Haha, that makes sense, I was just confused as to where you got that time from :ROFLMAO:

Thanks mate, I hope that you enjoy playing!

I like this idea of keeping them separate to keep the download size more manageable. Some other devs use an export/import system for saves between chapters. Perhaps you could ask them how that's done so you could do the same thing. With that it will solve the issue for this upcoming realm and the rest that follow.
