Greetings. we are Herstory Indie Game Development Team.

Currently, our Dystopia Themed game "Karma" are being attacked by Chinese netizens on various social platforms.
We have been informed by couple Chinese internet users, that since steam is having a hard time in China,
Karma's dystopia theme may get Steam into some real trouble from Chinese government.

As the game developer,
having their players unable to enjoy the game freely and happily is definitely not a situation we want to see, even-though this actually wasn't the fault of Karma, or even Steam.

We have contacted Steam and requested to suspense the sale of Karma in China since yesterday,
we hope to come up with a relatively peaceful solution.

To everyone who has supported our game,
please allow us to express our deepest gratitude here.

However, Steam's forum was setup for game discussions.
Therefore please understand, from today on,
any post and comment that are not about the game content will be noted,
and any personal attacks and hate speech will all be deleted.

At the same time, we would also like to clarify that Karma is an Dystopia themed Visual Novel developed by Herstory Indie Game but not by Spark Alliance as some Chinese Twitter users have said.
Donating Karma's first half year's profit to the non-profit organization—Spark Alliance,
was a decision our team has made after discussion.


In addition, Karma was inspired by the events that took place in Hong Kong in June and July.
However, the content of the game does not involve any real country, person or event.

Karma has a complete worldview and its own unique history,
And these are just one of the important elements that we want our players to experience and enjoy when they play Karma.

We can understand some of you are concern and worry,
But before you attack our game or even our team members,
please understand that Karma is a story about love, hope, decision and karma.
These are also the messages that we want to pass on through this story to you in the real world.

To the one's who read till here. Thank you.
