Scam from developer PinkySwear
https://steamhost.cn/app/383970/

Game "Hentai: Exposed" early named "Don't drop the soap"

Changed metacritic_name – Don't drop the soap › Hentai: Exposed

Before release game was on sale in "Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle 25":
https://groupees.com/bagb25/

Game page in web archive (even the same poster):
https://web.archive.org/web/20161026144239/https://steamhost.cn/app/383970
Forum page in web archive:

After release developer refused to provide the keys to everyone who bought the game earlier as part of the bundle:
"the game don't drop the soap was sold to Groupees not hentai or this Steam page."
"The bundles page also mentions that you get Steam keys if don't drop the soap gets released on Steam, this did not happen yet "
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/383970/discussions/0/1698294337784847772/

Easy-peasy, just rename the game, and lets people buy your piece of code again. :creep:.

PS. itch.io key from bundle is unobtainable too. It's impossible even download game.

IndieLip, AKA “TSS Studio”?

IndieLip and the rest of their alt accounts also do review manipulation...they all have the same 4 accounts
Paid reviews are usual practice among russian developers.
Different accounts, different people (reviewers are really different people) = no evidences.

You're sure?
And probably this too:
https://steamhost.cn/search/?publisher=Ripknot%20Systems

Not sure. But:
- The same trash-train conveyer production with using same asset flip in many games.
- Extra-cheap bundles (not so often in Steam).
- Many achievements in first games, then one achievement for run game, and now games without achievs.
- Single-achievement for run has the same bug - games show as completed in Steam library pages even before running.
- The same save paths in Registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DefaultCompany\
- First profiles activity in Steam - november-december 2016 in all three cases.
- E-Mails on gmail and begin on "virtual" : virtualragestudios@gmail.com (VRS) and virtualtopllc@gmail.com (VT Publishing)

Not enough evidences, but this "publishers" look very similar.
