I feel the need to post this every time the discussion comes up, but it's because her lore describes her explicitly as a child and Helius for whatever reason decided to submit that to Steam and leave it up in the Discord.

Very few publishers that publish in North America or Europe are going to touch that. Legal Minefield.

Agreed. Some of this was likely their own doing. Her lore explicitly entails that she was meant to provide comfort to childless couples. I know where some people's heads are at in this, but that actually entails she was meant to be a surrogate daughter or sorts.
Sure, we may know that she is probably more mature (AI wise) than her physical appearance may entail, but they would need to rework her entire background and lore. Otherwise it's a minefield nobody is going to want to walk into. No publisher is going to want to greenlight a game that sexualizes and pornographies an Android/AI with the appearance of a young teen at best, who was created with the express purpose to be a surrogate daughter for childless couples; even *if* she is likely far more mature intellectually then her may let on. It'd be a goddamn legal mess to explain away to the people that would banging on their door; and a legal nightmare that defend.
If PH wanted to avoid this, they should have changed her backstory entirely and made clear she was 18, even if it makes no sense from an in-game standpoint considering she's an AI, therefore her physical age matters less than her conceptual one.
Per usual though, they didn't really think that through; which leads me too believe there desire to get her in originally was a low priority.
