Pulling off the sales

Greetings to all our followers.

I´m sure by now, everyone noticed our visual novel "The Sassy Detective", is not available for sales anymore here. This is motivated to the recent decisions taken by Itch.Io, about the payments for NSFW developers through Paypal or Stripe directly.

It´s concerning because Paypal and Stripe are STRONGLY against any kind of sexual activity regarding digital media, like videos or movies, without being specific about videogames or pictures of non-real characters. This decision, although we understand the circumstances, jeopardize lot of NSFW creators. For no one is a secret what went down with "Lip! Lewd Idol Project" by Toffer Team, who lost all his Kickstarter money due to Paypal confiscation. 

This is why we decided to stop selling "The Sassy Detective" on itch.io, keeping the free demo available for everyone to try. If you want to play the full game, is available on Nutaku.net. The link is available in the visual novel webpage. 

Now, regarding the accesibility to the full game to everyone who purchased or got a download key, don´t worry. The visual novel is still available only through those ways. If you got a download key through a Giveaway, or a gift, or if you purchased the game, you still can download it anytime. But you can´t buy it anymore, untill itch.io staff find a way to make safer payments for NSFW developments. Once again, we understand the decision taken by itch.io staff, so it´s not a protest. Just a safe measurement for our project and our team as a whole. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the big support you give us and to "The Sassy Detective". 

Tulio Ramírez.
