Amazon Drops Rape Simulation Video Game

Reports across the pond claim that Amazon.com has stopped selling the game Rapelay, a Japanese video game that involves the player stalking victims and then raping them.

The rape simulation game involves players chasing a mother on the subway and violently raping her, and then tracking down and raping her two daughters described as virgin schoolgirls. The game includes even more horrific details according to online game reviews, such as the option get other men to join in the attacks, having to force the women to get abortions if they get pregnant, and what a review (NSFW) from Something Awful says are "tears that glisten and move in the little girl's eyes."

Following a report from the Belfast Telegraph that Amazon was selling the English version of the game, the company has removed it from the site. Amazon has not commented on the item or said why it was being sold through their website. The screen shot below from Google's cache shows the Amazon page for the game before it was taken down.

I'm mostly confounded that a game like this even exists.

Takes all sorts, I guess.

iamtehpwn6285d ago

Artificial Girl 3 was way Better. The best, actually.
Sexy Beach was decent, and Schoolmate was great.

Eiffel6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

Japan has a perverted culture? Nothing new.

Come to think of it anything cell shaded and with the same over used art style sells like hotcakes in Japan.

Glad I'm on the East side..far away from Japan.

XxZxX6285d ago

well Eiffel, the east side u been have a fetish of seeing being tortured to death in the most painful way, movies like Hostel, SAW are hot cake there too. Not so great after all. Grass is greener, but as long as you on earth, it is sh*t everywhere.

dexterwang6285d ago

Why are you so surprised?
A game involve running over/gunning down innocent pedestrian is fine (GTA)?
How about killing little girls (bioshock)?
Or brtually murdering people (manhunt)?
Or eating human flesh (infected in L4D)?

These are all more severe crimes compared to rape. So why is it such a taboo? I don't get it... not that I'm promoting it in anyway at all.

Eiffel6285d ago

That may be true but those are movies.

This is a rape simulator.

Now with Saw and Hostel Its easy to say anyone would know how to kill someone with a bat or any other means of violence, we can both give that credit to our public schools. Hell we have games that show what would happen if you bashed someone across the head with a piece of lumber. We don't need a game to state the obvious of what the outcome would be.

But a rape simulator is just beyond violent and or torture its f*cked up massively.

ThichQuangDuck6285d ago

Im all for unique game ideas and being different but stalking people and raping them. I mean that is just asking for a future lawsuit saying the game made me do it. This is just one example of pushing the limits too far.

RememberThe3576285d ago

I don't know who the hell is disagreeing with you, but they need to take a long look at their values.

This is really hitting a nerve with me. The way I was raised, women are not to be touch in a violent way ever. When it comes to men, it doesn't matter. Women are the ones who raise us, the ones who birth us, and they are the most important part of our society.

If you think that rape is a lesser crime then any other take the time to think about how you would react if your mother or wife was raped. then tell me that rape is a lesser crime.

This "game" is serious bullsh*t, and you little b*tches who are defending it need to get a reality check.

nycredude6285d ago

Dude you need to calm down and stop calling people names just because they don't agree with you. THis is a free world and fortunately not every have to agree. You may think rape is the worst thing in the world to do, which would make a good debate, but their are things that can be worst. I personally think that taking a life is the single most heinous thing someone can do in this world but that is just my "opinion". Torture is second. That being said rape is not too far behind!

INehalemEXI6285d ago

I heard of this game awhile back, never played it. I think its way over the line.

Pixel_Addict6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

ok, first off... I agree this is wrong in every way(!), but to accuse the entire nation of Japan like that is misguided. Americans love their torture-porn (Hostile and Hills Have Eyes come to mind). The difference I think there is that people are made to feel ashamed of the impulses that an uncomfortable number of people share. This is a very Christian society that aims to punish impulses in public, but incourages it in private. Pornography in the US is a multi-billion dollar industry, yet not many adult admit to owning any, or misrepresent how much they watch. That hardly accounts for web-sites or even free porn. So what only 100 people are buying all the porn?

What you, Eiffel are refering to is Japans openess to some subjects that are taboo here. Whats more sick interacting with rape or just watching it on The Hills Have Eyes? Are you seriously going to open a dialoge saying one is better than another? Don't bother, I've met many people who've watch that garbage just for those scenes.

I don't judge people regardless. "The first one without sin shall throw the first stone." Not to say this crap should be sold, because it does send the wrong message, but I am not going to condemn people, only those responsible for producing this. Also, you're avatar is about Metalocolypse, a fake Death Metal band. Death Metal has the same issue with gore, violence, rape, and satanism... so unless you listen to ABBA stop making comments about how all Japanese are 'sick'.

For an example, here in America many if not a majority of people believe homosexuality is wrong and openly oppose it, yet there have been many anti-gay senaters that actually turned out to be gay. America as a whole is hypocracy. A Chistian nation that believes in Capitolist economy, where greed and selfishness are virtues? How about the Joe-sixpack claiming to buy a Ford because its American, yet Ford has most of its work force in Mexico and Canada.

I say if you're naive to believe that Japan is alone in this facination with violence and sex. The only way you can believe that is if you live under a rock or lying to yourself.

Pixel_Addict6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

The United States of America has thousands of gun deaths every month, his the highest prison population in the WORLD, highest infant deaths in any first world nation (close to 3rd world), US students are ranked lower than even developing nations, highest alcoholic related fatalities, wide spread discrimination (race/sex), no healthcare, tortures foreign citizens without due process, sells weapons to rival waring nations... I could go on for days. This country prosperity is on borrowed time. All of its citizens are drowning in debt, losing their jobs, and the rich are just moving to another country... for all the Christian "holier than thou", "god bless America and no one else" rhetoric the US is still one f**ked up place.

Japan has the one of lowest unemployment of any first world nation, has virtually no gun deaths, and I think I'd be safer in Tokyo than in Detroit.

Also, you live in the WEST, not the East. That explains a lot.

Ahmay6284d ago

japanese have porn resembling rape too... in school my instructor said study shows it may be a reason why there is less rape in Japan compared to say US...

hulud866285d ago

I know. This is so sick. I'm disappointed in Amazon for selling this.

TOSgamer6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

If you studied the screen shot you'd see that Amazon wasn't selling this. There were a couple of sellers selling it using Amazon marketplace. Amazon marketplace is much like ebay. Where a seller can create a page for an item to sell. Amazon did what they were suppose to do. Remove the page when it was brought to their attention.

XxZxX6285d ago

Japaneses unlike Westerners, believe pornography like that will reduced sex crime which it does. And the best thing is they don't blame the pornography or games if they get caught.

hulud866285d ago

Thats true TOSGamer. It's not Amazons fault. It was some seller who posted the listing.

pixelsword6285d ago

...that's why japan had to institute women-only cars because of the rampant molestation that goes on in their subways.

Arknight6285d ago

Forget Amazon.....who actually made this game...and is this considered normal in Japan where it was made? Does it not bother anyone there?

Pixel_Addict6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

that even 1/100 of Japanese citizen run around watching anime and play video games much less find rape simulators normal? I've met people from Japan and I have yet to met one that cared about anything video game or anime related. I am just astonished how an act of a small group of people suddenly opens the possibility of condemnation of an entire nation of people. I think we've hit a whole nother level of stupid.

So the answer to your silly question is no. That is like a Japanese person asking if all Americans are racist, violent, sexist, stupid, beer drinking, war mongering, Bush lovers, because if you've seen American movies, you'd might think that too.

Horny6285d ago

Pixel Addict I agree with everything you have said in this thread, you basically spoke for me.

Fatal Blow6285d ago

Who ever made this game or what ever must be one sick person

XxZxX6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

I believed texas chainsaw massacre is way sicker than this.

Below,
Don't you think , read my every comment on every thread is even weirder.

I_am_rushin6285d ago

I believe you commenting in every thread on almost every comment is weirder than this.

stephen20056285d ago

@XxZxX:

I can't tell you how much I disagree. Watching a movie about somebody killing people isn't nearly as bad as a game (where you are actually interacting) about raping a woman and her daughters. This is probably one of the most sick and messed up things I've ever came across.

And it's not like Japan doesn't have movies/games that have the killing of people in it anyway.....

RememberThe3576285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

For you to say that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is worse then a game about raping women shows me how much I would love to send your ass to the pavement.

This game is an atrocity on so many levels defending it show what type of person you really are...

Edit: @Below: So living in constant mental anguish is OK? I honestly would rather take eternal slumber. You need to reevaluate where you stand as a man cause right now you are a little b*tch. You need to start putting more value on the gender that gave birth to your ignorant ass.

Kevin McCallister6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

All this time, I thought murdering someone was the worst you could do. A rape victim can continue on with life. A dead person has a pretty hard time pulling that off.

A disagree? Oh yeah, I forgot about zombies. Always gotta be on the lookout for the Zombie Apocalypse.

Edit: Hmm...whatever you say, my gun-toting friend. I visit N4G to goof off and read gaming news, not to have philosophical discussions. That's what Digg, Reddit, and the classroom are for.

stephen20056285d ago

@remember:

Agreed. All these people are acting like rape is a one time thing and it's over. The people that are unfortunate enough to have this happen to them have to live with it for the rest of their lives. They are devastated.

...but the fact that people seem to think some random movie with killing in it is worse than an INTERACTIVE game where your objective is to rape women...shows you why the world really is a f**ked up place and why stuff like this actually happens....

Pixel_Addict6285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

"Rape is the worst crime a man can commit"

This comment is coming from a guy with a pic of a gun for an avatar. Rape is horrible, no doubt about it. Rape has been found be to less about sexual pleasure, and more the need to feel powerful. Guns do that for people too.

RememberThe3576285d ago (Edited 6285d ago )

I happen to believe that some people deserve to die. However, I don't believe that anyone deserves to be raped. If you can't understand that concept I'm happy for you that you haven't come across those types of people.

And to the point about a feeling of power: I'm don't care what the person committing the rape is feeling. In contrast I care about the person being raped, whats going threw their mind, and the pain they're going through.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio10h ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing8h ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster928h ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit8h ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing8h ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster926h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
