'Halloween: The Game' Removes Controversial Mini Game Allowing Characters to Have Sex
IllFonic’s Hotfix 1 removed the feature after players found it let a 56-year-old character interact sexually with underage teens.

- Controversy erupted over the weekend when videos showed the 56-year-old character Samuel Loomis, modeled after actor Donald Pleasence, interacting with 17-year-old characters including Annie Brackett.

- The Game launched in Early Access on Friday for Digital Deluxe Edition pre-orders and remains scheduled for full release on September 8 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
