Maybe I worded incorrectly: if the gameplay was kept the same and it was adapted to be SFW, it would still sell well. The gameplay is fun.
A lot of fetish games rely on more than half on their fetish to sell. If you remove the fetish from these games, it doesn't necessarily become bad, but the gameplay/story doesn't carry the game to fame.
This game succeeded in making the gameplay and personalities of the NPCs interesting enough that just by themselves, it makes the game interesting.
I don't want the fetish removed , I am also into that
