The Google Play Store has been accused of advertising this game during other ‘free-to-play’ games.
It has since removed the app from Google Play Store.
Michael McWhorter from Florida took to Twitter and TikTok complaining about the creepy game being advertised to him.
His video now has hundreds and thousands of views, with many commenters expressing disgust at the unsanitized game.
McWhorter shows a clip of McWhorter’s advert in his video. The advertisement features a simulation in which players control a man and are asked if he should take the clothes off his step sister or keep her asleep.
It seems that the goal of the game is to remove as many clothes as possible while she sleeps.
McWhorter voices his disapproval at the game in a voice-over.
He says: “Google, how the **** is this game available in your app store?”
He adds: “And then being advertised on other games – a game that my son could easily be playing.
“What do you think this teaches young preteen boys about how women should be valued and treated?”
According to The Metro, the game had a 17+ ‘Mature’ rating on the Google Play Store.
Although the game can’t be downloaded from the Play Store, some people might still have it installed on their devices.
Google’s Inappropriate Content policy for the Play Store states: “We don’t allow apps that contain or promote sexual content or profanity, including pornography, or any content or services intended to be sexually gratifying.
“We don’t allow apps or app content that appear to promote a sexual act in exchange for compensation. Content that contains nudity may be allowed if the primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific or artistic, and is not gratuitous.”
