Subject assessed / answered, no need  to continue with it. 

Consensus:

The game will not be explicit.

yes, there are suggestive character designs, but a lot of triple a game dev companies utilize them subconsciously. suggestive character designs don't mean that a game is a erotic/pornographic one. 

don't take this as basement dweller/incel/redpill/alt-right rhetoric, i have no interest in trying 2 save games from healthy explorations of identity n sexuality, but it is baffling to me how you can label this an erotic game when the only thing thats erotic about it, imo, is the character designs. 

imo it's like calling an rpg game an action game just because it has gunfighting. while, yes, gunfighting is a feature in a lot of action titles, it's not an inherent quality in the action genre, and it doesn't mean that the rpg in question is an action title. 

am i bugging? maybe i'm missing something or wasting my time here, but if you label this an erotic game, when the only thing erotic about it is the character designs, and you yourself don't see it as a pornographic/erotic game, then why are you labelling it that?

I agree, besides, i think the game could get more eyes on it if it didn't get slapped with the erotic label. Maybe they just want to be safe and make sure they are following guidelines? I know that game devs might be screwed over if they mislabel their game and it being deemed erotic by someone who just fancies reporting stuff arbitrarily.

2 my knowledge nsfw gamez are allowed by itch.io guidelinez zo it couldn't be that imo

What I was saying was that if it were considered erotic or having sexual content, and it wasn't labeled as such, then they could get in trouble with the moderation team. I didn't say that it can't be posted on itch.io .

ohhhhhh ight that's fair, ye i guess that could be why, but again tho non-erotic games with suggestive character designs like this have been published here before n nobody batted an eye. it's a strange situation 2 be in

I've gotten rid of the erotic tag. When a new build comes out on itch I'll be requesting for the sensitive flag to be removed. If not, either way I'll be marketing the game as a non-erotic sfw game on Steam.

thanx mane ^_^ don't know why yu tagged it as such in the first place

It IS erotic to a group of people, but on your behalf I believe the main anti-benefactors here are that: 1. The actual gameplay doesn't involve anything erotic, only a VERY mild part in which you customize your character to be so, and the thing is a lot of rpgs sexualize their characters, especially anything in/close to Japanese-style rpgs and those rpgs are never tagged as erotic for how mild it is. 2. Compared to the erotism functions on other adult itch games this game is clearly not about erotism, first of all there being no 'enchanting/taunting/seduction' method of function in this game just shows that the only thing sexual about is the personal fantasy of building your own (miniscule) anthropomorphic hottie.

there are people that like feet

my brother what is the relevance??? on another note I myself hate feet like its sposed to be really dirty and all dry and wriggly and no man on earth can have that clean soft plain thin reddish skinned feet. Especially gothic feet fantasy is so delusional like gothic woman wear the most skin boiling tick humid tight leather- latex smelling foot wear known to man, there's no way they will have good looking feet it may even be full of fungus, goddamn fungus.

To be fair though, there's a lot of gigantahoobaloos boioinging all over the place in the game, which I think makes it M-rated in some countries. But yeah, no real true lewdness in the game AFAIK, nothing explicit.
