Hiya! We're planning to release HEG on Itch a little after the steam and xbox launches. Incidentally, could you let us know what region you're in, and we can see if there are any issues with steam that might be able to resolve!
I’m in Germany. I don’t why but a lot of romance games are unavailable, especially ones that include 18+ stuff. Even if it’s just text based, werewolves 3 for instance.
About 5 months ago USK, the German regulatory agency for age ratings in video games, warned steam that every game should have an age label or be hidden/banned on the German store.
When the deadline arrived lots of indie-games disappeared off of peoples wishlists and while most reappeared a few days to weeks later, some have stayed gone since then and I can imagine that those text based games were hit by that too and simply don't have the resources to get them rated(or maybe their devs don't even know).
And if by 18+ you meant porn then yeah, Germany has always banned those from German Steam stores because steam has no age verification needed to get access to them.
It’s weird though. Even games that have an age restriction are still unavailable in germany. Games that i bought sometime ago and still have in my library too. For the porn part, the game ‘house party’ is available in germany even though it’s literally porn, so it’s all kinda weird.
Hi there! We currently have a demo accessible from steam, and hope to have it available from itch in the future! in the meantime, if you're interested you can try High Elo Girls at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1735080/High_Elo_Girls/
I'm curious since polyam ships are common for team based stories if there will be an option to romance multiple people. I really loved the demo and love the art direction, excited no matter what but just curious.
Thanks for your kind words! Unfortunately we have no plans for simultaneous romances at this time, however we do have a polyam teammate in Senny, who we're excited for you to get to know!
Hi there! Thank you so much for your interest! We previously had a demo available for High Elo Girls while it was still a League of Legends themed fangame, however when we made the decision to revise the game as a wholly original property we pulled that original demo to avoid confusion! We're hoping to have a new demo available in time for Steam's June Next Fest!

Will the full game be released on here too once it's finished? The game is sadly unavailable on steam in my country :(

I hope this helped in some way.

Hi! I'm interested in your game. When will a demo be released?

That's a shame but totally understandable. Still totally looking forward to the game.
Can I ask why there's no demo available for this?

I hope you guys keep it up!
Uh... Daphne and Kae's bios are identical. I assume that's an error :P
Oh man, that would absolutely be my fault (Dee speaking!) Thank you for the catch! I've just gone ahead and updated Daphne's to the proper bio.
