Recently, players from Russia noticed that several adult games were no longer being sold on Steam. The restrictions only affected Russia, so some thought it might be related to "sanctions" from developers or publishers.
The game's creators themselves are clearly not to blame – for MomoGames studio, what happened was a surprise:
Flipwitch Forbidden Sex Hex has been restricted from sale in Russia, unfortunately, this came as a big surprise to us. For now, we have put the game on itch.io and will figure out what can be done, but it seems there are no short-term solutions. Sad times :(
It is assumed that this could be related to a request to the publisher Critical Bliss from a Russian regulator. On the same day, the company also removed several other games from other developers from sale in Russia, such as: Aurelia and Venture Seas.
The developers of FlipWitch Forbidden Sex Hex clarified in a separate message that the problems with sales in Russia will not affect their plans to release localization for their games:
We still plan to add Russian translation to our future games and will consider other options [for game distribution]
