Hello hello!
You may have noticed we've removed our PMC Promiscuity demo page from here!
Why you ask? Well, because of two reasons:
The demo was no longer even close to representing the state/quality of the game, and we're unable to sell the game on this platform (payment provider nonsense), therefore we've moved!
You can find PMC Promiscuity in it's entirety, here! Release date the 17th of May 2024!!!

That payment provider nonsense is really annoying, so I completely understand.
ODS : We Moved to Steam !
Steam :This product is currently not available in your country :P
is there a way to get the game not on steam? steams privacy settings are aweful
hey are there any plans to make it available for people in germany either through steam or other platforms?
Hi! I played and loved the game! Has a lot more care and work put into it than most VN’s I’ve played! I was just curious if more content was planned for the future whether it be through DLC or updates? Id love to see more from the story, world building and characters!
Is there any chance you're going to sell the game on a different platform so Germans can access it as well?
Hmm hmm your game is not available in Germany. Just letting you know.
Yeah, unfortunately Germany has some very restrictive laws regarding games featuring adult content. Thanks for checking we were aware though, much appreciated!
You are welcome, not everyone knows this about steam and Germany, so I tend to tell them before they miss out on a country.
Fun Fact: It is less about games featuring adult content and more about that steam is just a dick about it. The agency in Germany which checks and tracks that stuff is surprised as well about how draconic steam forbids suddenly adult content for Germany. They simply asked steam for not allowing adult content to be shown on the front page, after this however steam suddenly shuts down all adult content from Germany entirely.
That is not correct. They are now required by law to properly verify the age of their Users. Not only is a lot of work, and costly to set up, but also, understandably, terrible for privacy, since your username could now be linked to your real id, which you would have to present.
The simplest solution for any dev is to sell steam keys on itch.io.
Do you know how much more money they would make if they would just do the most simple thing and check users ages?
Do you know how much more adult oriented games Steam would be able to feature and that way would be able to be sell?
Do you have ANY idea how much profit Steam would make over how much money they would have to invest?
I am sorry for being so hostile on this however I have seen this point over and over again and it falls apart every time someone puts even an ounce of logic to it.
Steam COULD do this. But just like with TF2, Valve wont pull the trigger unless they have to. They are lying in a made bed. Steam is printing them money. Age verification is something it doesnt require and therefor it wont do it. Money is not the problem, they make around 100 times the amount this would cost monthly anyhow.
That’s just not true. The usual way this is done - after all, a similar thing is already done in other contexts - would be to have a public API run by the state. You can use a hash (generated from say, the serial number of your ID card or passport) to ask certain factual questions. For purposes of this, “Is this person over 18y old?”. The API then replies yes or no.
That’s it. Nobody knows anything else. You could even abstract the serial number if you want to, but we readily give out our names during payment anyways and there’s not much more you can do with the serial. But it could be hashed client-side.
This is incredibly easy to do, to the point where the equivalent part is already done in a whole lot of areas, and in other countries is already used for age-checks albeit not in a game-buying context.
Great. This does not exist here though.
So are you going to sell the game somwhere else for germans to get it as well?
Are we going to get the game released elsewhere where we can actually buy it, then? Even Steam keys via another site would work, as Steam honors keys, it just won’t sell the game.
