Horses is an indie horror game by Italian development studio Santa Ragione which has been the subject of a lot of controversy recently following its banning by Steam. And also by the Epic Store. Which means substantially less.

Horses has you take the role of Anselmo, a young Italian man who has been sent to work on a farm for two weeks in the summer. There he meets a farmer who grows vegetables, plows fields, and imprisons sinners in horse masks before brainwashing them into becoming livestock. As is tradition.

The game was allegedly banned by Steam for its extreme, rule-breaking content. So in this video I’ll be taking a look at the game and seeing if a ban was truly the correct option. (it wasn’t)
