Scratching an itch
This game is a protest.
In response to the increasing wave of NSFW content being purged from platforms like Itch.io and Steam, I’ve created the very thing they’re so desperate to silence: a dating sim with gasp adult themes.
It’s bold. It’s queer. It’s unapologetically sexy.
And yes, it’s been tastefully censored—just enough to protect your fragile sensibilities from the horrors of pixelated skin. Because apparently, treating adults like adults is too much to ask.
So if you’re tired of corporate gatekeeping, puritan panic, and moral crusaders dictating what we can create or enjoy—this game is for you.
If you play it, love it, or just want to support the cause—share it, stream it, scream about it. Every bit helps spread the word.
Want to help protect creative freedom and keep adult games alive?

thanks for this
VALID POINTS ALL AROUND THE BOARD
ITCHIO BETTER BE LISTENING
ARE YOUR EARS OPEN?????
HEY ITCHIO ARE U LISTENING
YYYYAYY YALL LETS HYPE THIS SHT UP
well said, if you have some donation box I would love to donate to you dude. You literally read my mind and took the words right outta my mouth, mad respect
you deserve your voice to be heard, and art is art. Without risk and explicit stuff, alot of influential works and masterpieces we all adore would've never existed. Everyone and anyone can make art, both safe and not safe for work. Passion, creativity, the world needs more soul than ever. This was the best commentary I read on this whole situation, thank you for this
thanks for the donation request, but I did not make this game for anyone to support me financially. If you want to support someone, try to find a way to support NSFW developers; they need it right now.
loved the message but being called a vanilla hetero was a bit offensive ><
............being moderately offended over something that wasn't necessarily personal isn't really near comparable to what actually queer people experience. just saying <3
how is that offensive anyway?.. And it's mostly a joke anyway, no need to take it that seriously
beautiful message
Minor nitpick; you can't get properly introduced to both girls in one run, so the scene in which the player notes that both girls are still home is kinda confusing. Maybe rewrite the dialogue in that section so it doesn't imply that you met the other girl before?
EDIT: Also, in one of the dialogues near the end of Scout's route, "Scout and Scout" should be "Collette and Shout".
Also the scene that mentions gay furries and kinks has a "your'e" instead of "you're," and after that "affct" instead of "affect". A few scenes later, there's "shot support" instead of "show support".
Pointing these out because I love this game!
When clever writing doesn't do it, and puns just fly by, sometimes a solid bop to face with reality is all you can do.
The game was fun, I saw it and was interested in it without knowing what to expect, other than it being short. Kinda sad there couldn't be more to it, probably that is the point.
The point of this game is to deliver a message, that is to make clear that expression and art should not be censored by corporate tyrants that think they can dictate a person's freedoms or rights. That they decide what you as a person can buy. Realistically, from all I have read throughout the many people that speak up, these corporate types really think they own you and can decide how you exist for their benefit.
If the text on this page is anything to go by, they're using ChatGPT to write it.
This is a genuinely important game and message that people must understand in this current situation and I am inspired by this <3
I played both routes and loved the art of the game.
Between Collette and Scout, Scout was my favorite of the two girls
Scout’s route had me internally cracking up with the Tim Burton line and the line about the black toilet. 😆
I did notice some spelling mistakes. Collette doesn’t say, “affect” but instead “affct.”
Scout says, “Scout and Scout” instead of “Collette and Scout.”
Otherwise, I felt that the ending monologue was written in a way that better reflected Scout’s personality versus Collette’s personality. Yet, I liked and agreed with the overall sentiment in the game’s conclusion.
Hopefully, this VN of yours doesn’t get banned or removed. I’m thankful one of my visual novels didn’t get removed, at least not yet, and that one featured NSFW content.
I even signed the petition, outraged by the censorship as well.
Keep up the good work! 🤩
FREAKS STAY TOGETHER

This was surprisingly good-- the ending is something that more people seriously need to pay attention to!
This is where I'd drop a couple dollars for the laughs, if only itch didn't openly threaten to withhold payments lmaoooo
