Steam 'Hentai' Tag on 'XenoFeels' Prompts Developer to Clarify No Adult Content
The developer's public clarification shows that user-applied tags on Steam can misrepresent a game's content, forcing developers to proactively correct misconceptions before release.
Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
KotaMota Games, developer of the space checkpoint sim 'XenoFeels', has stated the game contains no adult content despite a user-applied 'Hentai' tag on Steam. The developer asked users to remove the tag and noted Steamworks allows developers to remove inaccurate tags. The game includes crude jokes and slightly risqué depictions but is rated for ages 16 and up. A demo check confirms it stays within non-adult erotic content bounds. The game is scheduled for a 2026 Steam release, with Japanese not currently supported.
KotaMota Games, the developer of the space checkpoint simulation 'XenoFeels', has publicly stated that the game contains no adult content. The statement came after the 'Hentai' tag appeared in the user-defined popular tags section on the game's Steam page. The developer has asked users to remove the tag and noted that Steamworks allows developers to remove inaccurate tags themselves. While the game includes many crude jokes and slightly risqué depictions, the developer has been careful not to overdo it, maintaining a rating for ages 16 and up. A check of the demo confirms it stays within the bounds of non-adult erotic content. On Steam, adult games can be identified by an 'Adult Content Description' on the store page and possible page visibility restrictions based on user settings; this game has none. However, since most games with the 'Hentai' tag on Steam are adult games, the announcement was likely made to prevent misunderstandings. 'XenoFeels' is scheduled for release on Steam in 2026, and as of writing, Japanese is not among the supported languages.
