Apparently Amazon has pulled it (

but Overstock is still selling it (
http://commercial-archive.com/content/overstockcom-sells-rape-simulation-video-game
).

And, if you feel the need to read any more about it in all its horrific
detail:  http://www.honestgamers.com/systems/content.php?review_id=4775. At
least in this review--unlike many others I've found--the commentator doesn't
condone this sort of "game."
