Shadowbanned: My Game Disappeared from Itch.io
Added 2025-07-24 08:24:11 +0000 UTCAs many of you have probably read online, all NSFW games have been shadowbanned on Itch.
What does that mean?
It means that users can no longer find my game unless they have a direct link. This severely limits its visibility and makes it much harder to reach new players.
This is extremely disappointing for me, as I’ve invested countless hours promoting my game on their platform.
From now on, I’ll continue posting updates here.
At the moment, I’m actively working on Chapter 5, but this move has hit hard, not only emotionally, but also financially. Especially considering that my game doesn’t break any rules: all characters are of legal age, and every NSFW interaction is clearly portrayed as consensual.
Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to thank those of you who support me financially. You're the reason I'm able to keep pushing forward with this project.

2025-08-03 09:38:47 +0000 UTCThis is a snippet of the posting on each of the devs sites I follow (27 of them). It addresses the root cause and a petition link to at least think we're being heard from change.org. " From "burning books", school board meetings, baseless lies and top down corruption, they want CONTROL. This is just a symptom. So stand up and say no. Fuck 'em. Make them irrelevevant. If they want their teeth back make 'em need a colonoscopy. Don't sit on your asses, unite for the actual freedom of choice. Stay rational and relevant, but BE HEARD. This is one way - Change.org and the most recent petition https://chng.it/mbwQ87Kpbv
