Itch may not be able to directly do something, but they can basically go to the government and detail the situation as Grand Theft by a Pair of Massive Multibillion dollar companies, do this in every country this can be involved in, and Visa and Mastercard will not be able to ignore the cost of their actions.
Itch should record all sales of games and send a bill to the payment processors for reimbursing customers of products that have been removed and 'stolen' Every game or piece of art you purchased in your library has a monetary cost, and credit card processors have essentially stolen that product from you, therefore you should have them repay you for the theft of said product.
You have to figure out who is funding them, find Criminal evidence of wrong doing in some form or other, then black mail them into pulling their funds from Collective shout, and you have to do this to each of the individuals or organizations that are funding Collective shout to the Tune of 510M annually.
So the Current situation as it stands explained by Itch.io is the same as what happened with steam as of 3 days ago A group from Australia named Collective Shout has decided to demand that payment processors Censor games that don't fit into their perfect world, as a result steam has already removed near a hundred games and Itch.io has DELISTED ALL adult content as they review EVERYTHING, in order to find content that doesn't comply with the payment platforms.
Their is a petition on change.org in motion to stop this BS before it results in a TOTAL ban in adult or adult/adjacent content on all platforms like they tried in the 90's

Gonna be honest with you the reason for the timer is to challenge the player, cause You unlock the lewds after beating the boss their isn't too much reason you should need to acquire the markings from getting caught Naturally, though as I've said in other forums, it's really difficult with some of the enemies to get the marking just because of how few they actually are *Cough**Cough*SPI-Ware*Cough**Cough* Other than that, the hard limits are their to convince the player to work their way through to the next session instead of messing around trying to become overpowered "see level 30 Grove run" and their is more than 2 suits 1 of which supports messing around as long as you have energy. but really just beat the game with 25 logs to fully unlock the gallery and then have a burner save with either the final boss or area 3 to mess around with said unlocked gallery. atleast until we can convince grove to make a post game for those of us enjoying getting caught naturally in game.
One thing that would be nice in this game that we don't get a lot of in other games is the ability to hire creatures as companions, upsides and down sides all considered, you loose access to cities and towns with them in your party, but so long as you're careful and resourceful you can evolve your creature companions into capable allies for combat throughout the game, what do you think yoraphim.
I firmly believe that the first place that should be censored should be the governement, any and all legislation in relation to control should be forbidden, on any level beyond local. Porn may or may not be bad for our health, but that is something we should decide for ourselves, not for others to demand. also The age restrictions are not for the protection of children, they leave more than enough loopholes in the laws for children to slip through, no it's about control, as you said. if anything lawmakers deciding on these policies should be arrested and removed from power for the abuse of it.
anyway thanks for making this great game, really looking forward to whenever the next chapter comes out.
