Thank you for the love! We're so glad people in China are enjoying OBSCURA and sharing it with each other ❤️
Unfortunately, we don't have control over OBSCURA being blocked on Steam. Steam has decided OBSCURA has too much sexual content, and while don't agree with this decision they will not change it; we asked them to reduce the rating and they refused. Steam automatically blocks certain types of mature content on from being sold in China or Germany, which is why we're blocked. If it was our choice, we would lower the rating because we think it doesn't make sense.
Right now German and Chinese players can buy the game on itchio and get a Steam key that way, and the key does work like normal, we. We're trying to find other ways to get around the block, but there's not a lot of options available to us. We know that itchio doesn't work for everyone and we're sorry, but it's the best we can offer at the moment.
抱歉我没想到这件事情会那么困难。(இωஇ )
我之所以提想让这个游戏在steam上架，是因为itch这在中国的知名度不是很高，很多人都不知道他，我也差不多是今年才知道这个网站的。我们中国访问外国网站还有付款，真的很麻烦和困难，也要绕过各种限制，就连现在我在这里评论都是通过“某种特殊的手段”才做到的。XD总之就是并不是所有的中国玩家都能够如愿以偿的通过itch来获得Steam游戏密匙。
不知道这样的建议会不会很冒昧，我先提前道个歉。我们那里的游戏如果限制级很高的话，会先上传没有限制级内容的游戏本体，然后后续的游戏主体其他内容将会以DlC的方式放出。DLC和游戏本体组合起来就是完整的游戏。
非常谢谢你们的真诚回复！你们在做游戏这一点已经很了不起了，还要管后续的发售。诚如你们所说你们已经做了最大的努力，再次感谢你们带来一个这么完美的游戏！＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／❤️❤️❤️
We're grateful to all the people who manage to get here to itchio given all the challenges you have to deal with to find it ❤️ Trust me, we want Obscura to be as easy to find and buy for the Chinese audience as possible and we're even more frustrated with Steam than you.
Your suggestion is something we considered to try and get a lower rating, but we think the thing that's getting the game a high rating in the first place is just Cirrus' route. Steam won't tell us if that would work unless we actually try it, and there are some problems that would come from putting a whole route (and one of the most popular ones) in DLC form, which makes this not really an option. We have some other plans in the works that may be able to solve this problem eventually, but none of them are quick solutions 😔
Thank you so much for your support and patience while we figure out what to do next!
