The indie horror game Horses has faced significant distribution challenges since its release. Initially banned from Steam due to controversial content in a 2023 build, the game was not reconsidered after the offending material was removed. Although Horses launched on other platforms such as Humble, GOG, and Itch, Humble removed the game from its store shortly after launch without explanation. This removal follows a pattern seen with other adult-oriented games, which have faced pressure from conservative groups influencing storefronts and payment processors.

Despite these setbacks, Horses remains available on GOG and Itch, where it has become a bestseller, likely benefiting from the publicity surrounding the bans. The game, developed by Andrea Lucco Borlera and published by Santa Ragione, is rated M for Mature due to its explicit content, including nudity and violence. The ongoing controversy highlights the difficulties adult-themed games face in securing stable distribution on mainstream digital platforms.
