Epic Games Store exclusives are not a strategy that benefits gamers in a direct way but it did help a known crowdfunding issue bubble back to the surface - the still unresolved question of developer accountability and backer trust.

Agony will be released on 29 May 2018 after facing controversy and ratings issues that have delayed the release of Madmind Studio's game. It appears that these complications are now over and the studio have shared an announcement trailer.

Madmind Studio have gone wrong in many aspects with Agony, but they definitely named it aptly as it is exactly what backers, reviewers and other players went through. They have finally call it quits and cancel the uncensored version.

Madmind Studio have had major issues getting their game Agony rated M in order to release it on different platforms. They originally planned to release a patch that removes censorship on PC, but it will not be possible apparently.

Madmind Studio have pushed Agony release back once again, in order to censor certain stages for console versions due to age ratings in some parts of the world. PC players will be unaffected since they will get a patch to remove the changes.
