Clickolding a weird sex game?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s a not-sexy game that looks like it\u2019s about sex,&#8221; Nelson told PC Gamer. &#8220;It\u2019s a not-horror game that looks like horror. Typically, this would be treated as a death sentence for a game. It doesn\u2019t fit into a clean genre. It doesn\u2019t fall into a Steam tag. But, we at Strange Scaffold feels like those are the types of leaps developers have to be able to take for games to be art, and provide players with experiences we could never have otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, no, it\u2019s not a sex game. But it will make you feel strange and uncomfortable in ways we think games have to be allowed to do if they\u2019re going to be an artistic medium and not just a delivery device for something that\u2019s sold before. And because those games usually don\u2019t get funded, it doesn\u2019t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In this case, though, it is happening. Clickolding is set to launch on Steam on July 16.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p><a
