Disclaimer. I did not try the game. But some advice from a user's perspective.

Tag the setting, gameplay and game tags. Not the fetishes, except outstanding things. See popular adult games for examples. List the fetishes in the description if you want to. You only have 11 tags.

An outstanding thing would be weight gain. But a dude screwing some ladies is ... well, you did tag it adult already.

The only adult tag you need is adult. And you do not even need that, but it is better to have it, because people look for it. But you must mark your game as having sensitive content. You want tags like fantasy or gothic for example. And it is debateable, if your game is a 3d game. Just look at similar visual novel what they use for tags, so your game can be found by tags. Yeah, some tag simple things like the type of sex or sex itself. Or even indie for crying out loud. 

If your main character is not gay/bi, do not tag lgbt or lesbian, just because there is lesbian sex in it. Assuming male-protagonist here.

You need more screenshots. And maybe a longer description.

Wish you well. And if this is not a kinetic novel, I might play it someday.

I will take your suggestions under advisement. I won't change the tags yet, but I'll adjust them when I'm ready to release the next bit. And I'll keep the lgbt tag off then, the way itch.io described it made it seem easy to abuse. Because this is just the prologue, and the story proper is set in modern times, I left off any setting tags for this release.

Oh, it is not about abuse of tags. What they mean and what they are used for is in the eye of the beholder. Usage, importance and applicability is often debateable.

But if I browse for certain tags, I have expectations.

To be found by people browsing for tags, just look what tags are used by similar games.

People definitely abuse the tags. I see so many people put the Gay tag on games with absolutely zero gay characters because there is (sometimes forced) M/M sex. Like, that's not what gay means. Gay isn't an activity. It's an orientation. Some of those would do fine with an LGBT tag (but not Gay tag), and some really shouldn't have either.

Weirdly, some of these games are extremely popular. Like "Straight!?" being one of the most popular "gay" games. He's not fucking gay; he's bisexual. It absolutely should not have the Gay tag.

Gay isn't an activity. It's an orientation.

In context, it is a tag. And that can very well mean an activity in the game, that can be called gay, even though the characters might be bisexual.

It is just tags. One has to balance people looking for/avoiding certain content. If you have m-m action in a game, "gay" does the trick. Nuances that one or both of the characters are not oriented exlusively gay, are better explained in the description.

So, yeah, it is not what "gay" means, but it is one of the things the tag "gay" can mean.

Yeah no, fuck you.
