I suppose you all familiar with the Sensitive content check box on your game meta data witch you should check if your game has sensitive content. My question is what is Sensitive content on itch.io i didn't find anything that describe what is sensitive and what is not, Aside from nudity what else should i be worry about?
So normally on game cover you will find the rating(18+/13+ or the T logo and so on) witch tell you what rate the game has. let's just say my adventure game has blood like to many and i see under 18 play it normally. i want more explanation cause i take responsibility of anything i publish on itch and i don't want to get into trouble in future.
thanks
Since itch has a worldwide audience, this is an interesting question. And what is considered sensitive is subject to a lot of subjectivity and local bias.
The tricky part is, to know, if you have to check that box. Especially for simple nudity. Or in the continuum between a jump scare and gore horror to set the line between made for adults only and being ok for "kids".
So I would check four things.
1. Is my target audience 13+ or 18+?
2. Will facebook mums get outraged, if their 13yo kids play your game?
3. Are similar popular games on itch marked as sensitive or not?
4. Would a streamer get in trouble for broadcasting gameplay of your game on the major platforms?
Especially 3. should give a good answer, since most stuff here is "correctly" marked.
