The Japanese horror visual novel This Game Is Not Real , developed and published by a small indie team known as “Viv,” was set to release on Steam this month, and, according to one of its developers, had even garnered 24,000 wishlists on the platform since its store page was added in August 2025. However, the team behind the project has now announced that the game will no longer be coming to Steam, as Valve has apparently denied it a spot on the storefront for “not meeting platform criteria.”
