A Japanese-developed RPG has been banned from release in the UK due to the "salacious nature" of its sexual content.

A statement from the Video Standards Council, the official ratings board in the UK, says the body has refused classification for Omega Labyrinth Z because of the "likely harm being caused to a viewer or potential viewer, e.g. children or young people."

It is illegal to sell a game in the UK without a rating from the VSC. While these ratings only apply to physical products, it's likely this will affect the title's availability in digital stores.

In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, a spokesperson said: "PQube specialises in the localisation of Japanese video games and endeavours to publish them as faithfully to the Japanese source material as possible.

"PQube works closely with all age ratings bodies and platform holders through this process. In an instance where a release is not possible, PQube respectfully complies with the guidelines of a platform holder and the laws of any given territory."

Honestly I can't argue with that decision.
