"We reviewed the game back in 2023. At that time, the developer indicated with their release date in Steamworks that they planned to release a few months later. Based on content in the store page, we told the developer we would need to review the build itself. This happens sometimes if content on the store page causes concern that the game itself might not fall within our guidelines,"
"After our team played through the build and reviewed the content, we gave the developer feedback about why we couldn't ship the game on Steam, consistent with our onboarding rules and guidelines. A short while later the developer asked us to reconsider the review, and our internal content review team discussed that extensively and communicated to the developer our final decision that we were not going to ship the game on Steam."
Santa Ragione's Horses is a first-person horror game that blends gameplay and live-action sequences about a college student who spends a summer working on a farm where the 'horses' are naked adult humans wearing horse masks. Valve reviewed a build in 2023, cited store-page concerns, gave feedback, and after reconsideration determined it would not ship the game on Steam. The studio plans a December 2 release on Epic Games Store, GOG, Itch, and the Humble Store. Santa Ragione said recouping its investment will be very difficult and that the studio faces the risk of shutting down.
