It's not available on Steam because the reviewers at Valve decided it wasn't appropriate for the platform and it was banned. I wasn't given any chance to appeal the ban, and I was told I wasn't allowed to resubmit the VN for approval even if I edited things, so I'll never be able to release it on Steam.

It's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is!

Well, if timing isn't off, after you submitted, something happened regarding Anime VNs that seemed to be banned by a rogue employee or something. I believe it surrounded Chaos;Head, so who knows if an appeal will be allowed eventually. 


The first one is missing warnings on steam too.

The decision to ban Chaos;Head was probably reversed because it's a high budget VN made by a well-known company with a big fanbase, so they had enough clout to appeal and get Valve to change their mind.

I am one person with little in the way of financial power or a fanbase, so I very much doubt Valve would ever change their mind re: banning Sweetest Monster Refrain, as they have no incentive to do so.
