A gaming studio is now giving away 55,000 copies of the hentai game Mirror on Steam to Chinese players. The highly-rated erotic game is intended to help Chinese stay at home and avoid contracting the Corona virus.
This is the promotion: The creators behind the Steam hit Mirror have spread a message on Steam. They are giving away 55,000 copies of Mirror on Steam.
Those who want to receive the game for free must provide their phone number to prove that they live in China, after which they can activate the copy.
Originally, there were only 45,000 copies of Mirror – an additional 10,000 have been released.
The game is supposed to “accompany” Chinese players while they stay at home
It is said: To avoid the Corona virus, it is best to stay at home. The 55,000 copies of Mirror are meant to accompany players.
The message ends with “Please accept our gift and stay strong.”
Then there are some tips:
- Players should avoid going outside.
- If they leave their apartment, they should always wear a mask.
- Avoid physical contact with other people.
- Stay away from crowds.
- And wash hands as often as possible.
Excellent Steam reviews for a €2 game
What kind of game is this? Mirror is a hentai game. In principle, players have to play a typical “match-3 game” like Bejeweled, but they do so against attractive, scantily-dressed ladies or female fantasy beings that they must defeat to “learn more about the beauties,” as it is said. Their clothing sometimes tears during the intense Bejeweled games – a well-known problem.
There were previously efforts by Steam to restrict such “hentai” games – but Mirror remains popular. On average, about 710 players are online, and the trend has been increasing in recent months.
Currently on Steam, it costs 79 cents, and the ratings are “extremely positive.” Mirror normally costs €2 and was the second best-rated PC game on Steam in 2018, only the indie hit Rimworld had better Steam reviews.
It is undoubtedly an erotic game. Steam reviews for Mirror say things like:
- “… you know why you buy the game.”
- “The best game, man. Patch the game and you can play it with one hand.”
Offering Mirror for free should help Chinese PC gamers spend more time in their apartments and contribute at least a little bit to curbing the spread of the Corona virus. Additionally, the promotion is a good opportunity for the developers to gain attention for their game, which offers some paid additional content.
The Corona virus has significantly restricted public life in China. For example, the LoL leagues in China and other parts of Asia have now been suspended.
