It's better to just paywall everything. Only people that can't afford it are minors. My country's currency is basically worthless compared to the USD and I can afford it.

Android devices are the most accessible across the world. It's done as a precaution to deter minors from accessing the game. Windows devices are typically shared among family members so the chances are considerably less. Parents will throw a legal shitfit about anything involving their children. Hence the precaution.
The reason why the other versions don't require it has already been explained to you. Furthermore, the creator is already considering putting the others behind a price tag already as they stated prior in a separate thread. The only reason someone would have an issue with the 5 USD is due to their status as a minor.
Android devices are much more accessible. Windows devices are generally shared amongst family hence why it's free. As in parents are likely to find it installed. Minors frequent itch quite often since the VNs are generally pretty cheap and easy to get into. A lot of Pokemon fangames made with RPG maker made it big on here at one point as well. Ex. Pokemon Mineral.
Samsung 24 Ultra
Model: S928U
OS: Android 14
List of Bugs:
Infinite loading screen. Only a guess but may be caused by high amounts of stat boosts in quick succession. Ex. An hour's worth of multiple stat boosts
Player Customization Menu. Bottom right half of the menu is inaccessible. Ex. Can't change the color of the player's woodpecker.
Pose System Bugs:
Screenshot function is broken. Nothing saves to the device. I'm assuming it has something to do with app permissions.
When changing poses that use only Naomi specifically, the camera will auto default and be stuck on the player's woodpecker. It may also be under the floor completely. Exceptions to the bug are the love pillow pose and poses involving the player.
The pose bug can be circumvented entirely by clicking on outfit focus. You are then free to change the focus and use the other camera controls.
Make sure you have "install unknown apps" enabled. If that isn't the issue. You may have accidentally installed the wrong architecture. Ex. Installing 64 on a device that only supports 32 bit architecture. If that isn't the issue. By chance were you trying to install the update separately? That is a known issue currently
To add context to Intenselog's comment. Websites featuring adult content are required to ask if you're 18 or older. Itchio however does not. Requiring the app be purchased acts as a pseudo-age verification. In the event they get sued they only need to bring up the receipt to show they did their due diligence. The reason it is 5 USD is due to free trial exploits. Most banks and whatnot use a hold charge method that typically ranges between .99 USD and similar. By making it 5 USD they can bypass anyone using these exploits. They were fairly common in the early 2000s to access trial based membership adult websites. They have yet to be patched.
