Why This Game Exists

This project is a protest. In response to the ongoing removal of NSFW content from platforms such as itch.io and Steam, it was created as the exact kind of dating sim those platforms are trying to silence.

Bold. Queer. Unapologetically sexy.

It’s also tastefully censored—just enough to keep things within a safe boundary while still treating adults like adults. If you’re fed up with corporate gatekeeping, moral panic, and restrictions on what creators and players are allowed to make or enjoy, this game is for you.

If you play it, enjoy it, or want to support the mission, share it, stream it, and talk about it—every bit helps spread the word.
