Hey everyone, Drakita here, the creator of Sylving.

As many may already know by now, because of a credit card company taking a hold on Steam and Itch over NSFW  and  bara content, there's now chaos here on Itch by shadowbanning and removing content on this site. It has already happened to many popular furry VN's here. So they're cracking down on adult games and stories to an absurd degree, there's no stopping it.

As of writing this, Sylving is still visible in the search results, but it may change after posting this. Even when there's no sex scenes or violence happening in my story yet, the small mirror scene in chapter 3 when the mc looks at himself without clothes could be enough to shadowban it. 

Adastra, Socially Awkward, Northern Lights, Extracurricular Activities, Chord Progression, String Zero and Northern Lights are already hit with the shadowban, these being the ones I know of so far. They're all still available, but not visible in search results on Itch. So if you haven't downloaded them yet but want to try play them later on, you should download them now before any of them are potentially gone from the site. I can't predict who stays and who's gone tomorrow.

Itch's comment about the situation: https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content

Help us creators by spreading awareness to what's happening. You can join in and sign the Petition here and Change.org here to help push against this. I'll keep you guys updated for any news that comes my way.

Edit: It appears that even SFW projects here on Itch aren't safe, as Remember the Flowers has no sexual content. They just seem to hide projects at random without doing basic research if it's approapriet or not :T

Go watch this video for more information. It's a miracle that Sylving has somehow managed to avoid the shadowban til now. I really hope this gets resolved soon, I hate seeing so many great VNs gets hidden.
