For anyone who sees this message and has no idea what's happening in itch.io right now big card corporations are issuing itch.io to shadowban and possibly BAN every nsfw game and novel on the platform. If you live in the United States I urge you to contact your respective congressman and ask them to vote for the Fair Access to Banking Act so that these big card corporations don't ruin all the hard work these wonderful devs put into their games/novel!!!
Thank you for making this post and bringing attention to this issue.
Here’s a website that I think has a good summary of what’s going on for those who want to know more.

If you’re from the U.S., please help us by filing a complaint as stated on the site. While Kemo Coliseum is a free game, we still would like to be able to host the game on itch, as well as making it easier for people to find the game by being indexed on the search result.
Personally, I love this site. We set the revenue sharing so that 30% of our income will go itch in order to support the site, so it’s sad to see what’s happening right now. Still, I understand that itch’s development team wants to support us developers, but something urgent needs to be done in order to save the site from not being supported by the payment processors.
As we are not in the U.S. there isn’t much we can do. We hope that our supporters who live in the U.S. will be able to do something about the situation. Regardless of what happen, we will do our best to work on the game make it available for people who look forward to it.

I genuinely only found this game on accident, otherwise if it wasnt also shadow banned I wouldv played it a long time ago. A shame because its one of the most qualitative gay nsfw games of all. Im completely clueless on who the studio is and the history of this gem of a game.
So I have to ask Punipen, what is the actual end goal of the game? Once you complete the game, will there be a sequel/prequel to this story of Volga/related to Volga or the entire coliseum? Because most people are like me and would prefer a preexisting character or chronological continuation of a story and its fictional place after spending a long time getting to know it and getting somewhat attached to it by playing through it.
Thank you very much for your kind words! We do have plans on making more games based on the universe of Kemo Coliseum after this. However, after Kemo Coliseum, we might work on something else first before coming back to this game’s world again.
I really hope you’ll like the rest of the game when it’s finished!
