(We realize our games are different than the other games on this list. But we are being impacted also. Such "unintended consequences" are one of the reasons that censorship is a slippery, tricky slope.)

It is not an "adult game". It is an educational narrative game about the impact that a college's Title IX process has on a survivor of a campus-related assault. It was created by the award-winning writer Elizabeth Ballou. We marked the game with a NSFW tag to highlight the content warning we added to the game. We did not want players to casually play it and then be affected by NSFW language and discussions of assaults in the game.
Also, our nonprofit org's other NSFW non-adult game is still not indexed. We opened a support ticket last week for that game but have only received an acknowledgement from itchio.
We have been promoting itchio as our primary storefront for our group's games since 2017. We are increasingly concerned about the response to this current issue. Our org is going to have to address this soon. We are too small to take risks with one of our primary outreach channels.
Although we do not have "adult games", our games are about sensitive issues. Will our LGBTQ-friendly games be targets next?
Is anybody receiving responses from support?
