Gotcha, I guess I will do it NSFW just to be on the safe side, as for 'All-Ages', the rating I was aiming for was +16 or +17. I now understand better what do you mean by that.

Besides it's a Koikatsu Render Visual Novel 'often known for adult content', I cannot publish it on Steam so far I know I could have released a 'DLC' containing the Patch, which would have been nice...

Anyways, thanks for your time and answers, I don't think I'll miss out much by marking it as sensitive, the dilema is losing players that don't want explicit content but, I suppose I can't cater to all. Still, sensitive content Visual Novels are still quite popular.

Have a great one!

There are koikatsu non adult games? ;-)

I mean, sure, there is a target audience for vn that is quite large in the non adult sector. Larger than for adult by game count. But I did not get the impression that koikatsu is common among those vn.

I doubt it 🤔, as for targeting that audience... Maybe at a later date I could, by "remaking" the game into another engine with custom assets, and seeing my options.

So far I just saw, AVNs in itch.io do pretty well and are nearly on par with normal games here. Of course it varies per store, the same numbers differ in Steam for example.

With that I made up my mind, I'll go the NSFW route, and some people do come for 'that' and stay for the plot or characters (myself included)! But I will keep the 'Sensitive content' as an in-game option.

Thanks a lot for your help!
