User ratings on the Google Play Store called for “more torture options” for slaves.
A game published in the Google Play Store has caused a scandal in Brazil .
“ Simulador de Escravid ão ” in Portuguese or “ Slavery Simulator ” was on the official Google store since April 20.
The game, which features a white man surrounded by black slaves as its cover photo, caused controversy in Brazil.
“The best slave-owning and slave-trading simulator,” the game’s description on the Google Play Store read .
Macabre game
“In this slavery simulator there are three types of slaves: workers, gladiators and pleasure slaves. Buy or sell them. Each slave is suitable for a certain business. Train your slaves to increase your mastery level and profits”, explains MagnusGames, developer of the game.
Several users complimented the app, which had a 4 out of 5 star rating. Some comments called for “more realism”, increasing the options for torture of slaves.
“Optimal game to pass the time. I think torture options are missing. They could add the option to spank the slave as well. Other than that, the game is perfect”, indicated one of the comments.
“ Slavery Simulator ” was removed from the Google Play Store on May 24, but it can still be played by users who downloaded it. In addition, Android allows you to easily install third-party apps.
The game mobilized the Brazilian Ministry of Racial Equality , which has contacted Google and the developers to prevent further racist content.
