"Outsiders" Is a romantic-comedy (+18) visual novel project made by Midwest Games.

Your game is nsfw by your own description.

I do not know the policy for demo versions of nsfw games. But you promise nsfw content along the road.

Maybe you would want to release two versions of the game. Or one sfw version and a separate nsfw dlc/patch. Then you could claim, that you have a demo version of a sfw game. But currently, you have a demo version of a nsfw game.

Or put it another way, would accounts that chose not to or are not allowed to see nsfw works be your target audience? I think not.

There's no special policy for NSFW games, they're considered for indexing like any other. And like I said, Outsiders is already indexed. People can find it on the site.

He was complaining about the demo being considered nsfw, despite the naughty bits not being in the demo version. Only in the full version (that is not yet ready, but is promised to be 18+).

What I meant was, that I do not know if such a demo version would be considered nsfw by itch policy or not. Imho, it should be. Because, sfw gaming is not the target audience for the final product, so why show it to such accounts.
