I see.... if it's hard to find a game, that is a problem. So, as long as you have the link, you can find it? If so, might have to promote elsewhere if this isn't resolved.

I read on reddit r/lewdgames that someone had created a website with some games (of course, not all of them. It is basically just their collections). There are a few, one being loop-io.dev. Keep in mind that these are made by the community and it's just a way to find adult games from itch.io, not buy them.

Example:
Clicking on "Play on Itch.io" will take you to the official itch.io page for Once in a Lifetime by Caribdis.

Yeah, direct links to projects that haven't been deleted, should still work.

But unfortunately, the issue with only accessing a game via a direct link, is that the traffic won't be anywhere near the same as before.

About 90% of my traffic here, was people searching games directly through itch io tags like the "adult" tag, or going to a browse tab like "popular games" and seeing my game on the front page and playing it.

Without this, adult games are basically dead here.

Hopefully it'll all go back to normal soon, but if not, then I might have to look to other platforms to host my game.
