I too think that the language barrier may have misled us a bit. I didn't mean to insult anyone nor accuse anyone to be a liar; I just stated that I've stumbled on this game too late and didn't understand at all that since the beginning the R18 version was reserved to early supporters. I didn't know and I couldn't know. I downloaded and played the NSFW demo from the November campaign page and I thought that sooner or later it would be released officially. When I read that the official version was out, I rushed to buy it and was disappointed to see it was just a PEGI-12 version. I just didn't have enough information to understand the peculiar (or should we say unusual) business scheme you were pursuing.

I've been for years a "modder" (content creator) for a popular game and I always gave my creations to anyone for free; but I kept a couple creations reserved to those players who made spontaneous donations. So, I can totally understand how important is to keep something reserved to supporters! But in my case I made it clear, writing it in capital letters as often as I could that those "special" creations would've never been released to the public, so people didn't have any expectations about them.

Anyway, case closed. The PEGI-12 version is funny and interesting; but while I played the NSFW demo many times to unlock all the GC, I played the PEG-12 version only once. I now understand I'll never get the R18 version and I can live with that. 

I don't think it's a legal problem: after all, many users have paid (during the various campaigns) and got the Key. I'm totally with you, that this is an odd (to say the least) decision: develope a game is made for profit, so what's the point in giving up on an easy profit? From what I read around, many people would pay good bucks to get the Key to unlock the DLC.

In any case, it's totally deceiving selling the "official" version that is just half ogf the game without warning in any way that the other half can't be purchased EVER ☹

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't get it...

Last month I downloaded for free and played a demo NSFW (18+) version of this game and I liked it very much; it said that the game was about to be officially released, so I patiently waited. On Dec. 23rd the game was released on Itch'io and I rushed to buy it, only to find out that it's a mild 12+ version with no adult content.

The game contains a DLC that must be activated using a "CD-Key" that I don't have; apparently, the CD-Key has been given only to those gamers who subscribed (many months ago) the Early Access, and is no longer available. Frankly, I thought that with the £24 I spent I would've got the full 18+ version; I understand that the DLC may have an additional cost, but it can't be purchased anywhere! If they told me that I could not have the 18+ version, I didn't spend my £24...

Is there something I'm missing?
