This game is so good. I never would have bought it without the Streisand Effect.

Thank you so much for not including the title of
Mouthwashing (2024)
Streisand Effect? Was there some controversy I missed? I've only heard praise for the game.
It was pulled from itch.io. The reason is a bit vague: https://80.lv/articles/no-mouthwashing-wasn-t-removed-from-itch-io-because-of-the-nsfw-purge
The reason seems pretty clear and reasonable? They only used the itch page to drive traffic to their Steam page.
Maybe reason isn’t the right word. Was just trying to mention it due to this:
However, some found the developer's explanation unconvincing, questioning how the studio's Co-Founder could be unaware that the game hadn't been indexed for nearly a year and reading the apology less like "I'm sorry" and more like "I'm sorry I got caught." With both interpretations equally plausible – and equally impossible to prove – it's up to everyone to decide for themselves whether Wrong Organ deserves the benefit of the doubt.
What game?
I did it because no one else could be fucking arsed to do something so simple
