Horrifying rape video game tells players to be women's worst nightmare

Game centres around a protagonist who rapes his family members including his aunt and his own mother.

Players are encouraged to 'never take no for an answer' in their ambition to 'subdue' and 'own' women.

Despite its horrendous themes, the game does not have an official age rating and was available for sale on Steam , the most popular digital game store.

The game's developer, Zerat Games , published the game on Steam in March where children as young as 13 can make an account.

Outraged gamers launched a petition with over 40,000 signatures demanding its removal.

UK Technology Secretary Peter Kyle called the game 'deeply worrying' and said online gaming platforms should 'show some responsibility.

There are currently hundreds of active players still accessing No Mercy.

At the time of writing, there have been an average of 238 active players on the game.

Concurrent players peaked at 477 yesterday afternoon after news of the game was first reported.

The game is now unavailable for purchase but Zerat Games added that anyone who already has a copy will still be able to play it.
