So currently there is a problem with itch regarding nsfw games and payments. Hopefully they fix that soon and this gets resolved. But with 0.21 right around the corner i would wait if i were you.

Hi, I assume you mean "lockpick". They cannot be used currently in the game as of 0.20. I am pretty sure they will be usable in a future update. When that is tho, I don't know. Also plz don't purchase the lock pick at the shop and torture urself for that much money, its just meant to be a place holder currently with no function/use.
If you buy on itch, you get access to exclusive scenes and only have to pay once. The only down side is that you have to wait for public release date, while those with montly subscription on subscribestar or patreon or whatever will have access to the newest update earlier and be included in polls that may determine what gets added in future updates.
