## Description
This game is a protest.

In response to the increasing wave of NSFW content being purged from platforms like Itch.io and Steam, I’ve created the very thing they’re so desperate to silence: a dating sim with (gasp) adult themes.

It’s bold. It’s queer. It’s unapologetically sexy.

And yes, it’s been tastefully censored—just enough to protect your fragile sensibilities from the horrors of pixelated skin. Because apparently, treating adults like adults is too much to ask.

So if you’re tired of corporate gatekeeping, puritan panic, and moral crusaders dictating what we can create or enjoy—this game is for you.
