well they tend to be nitpicks.
as long as mc doesn't do any sexual things with emma before she's in college dev should be fine (but again knowing steam nothing is certain).

I was just going by what I recall reading in the game might be misremembering. I just assumed it was more on the lines that she was transferring to a university cause I do know sometimes people will go to a lesser college at first then transfer to a better one or University. That and having a specialized class for fashion design in high school doesn't seem like it would be common. But i'm probably wrong that was just my thoughts on the matter of her schooling.
Edit : But her age High School does make more sense.

Really...it's a HUGE fecking issue with most school set VN's.
Basically (considering most are set in the States also)...at 18 (because of Visa/Patreon?Steam issues)...you should be in your last few months of high school...it would be your final year....so setting a VN...with 18yo's...in high school...just doesn't really work...they should already be in college by the time Aug came.

Ems is too immature to be in college. Her idea of a party means watching the guy of her dreams bang someone in her class while she is shown too shy to even do kissing willingly, let alone groping or what that guy does to the coke whores he bangs on the day by day schedule - full anal degrading sex. So she is made absolutely underage compared to literaly everyone, even compared ot her sister who is shown to have actual believable higher education lifestyle,
while the whole take her to school debacle makes her like the little girl Creasy would drive to school in man on fire
hugely underage and absolutely removed from anything reality talks or acts like in any adult aged student.
Usually, 14-18 since most American high schools have students in grades 9-12
Freshman year, Grade 9: 14–15 year old
Sophomore year, Grade 10: 15–16 year old
Junior year, Grade 11: 16–17 year old
Senior year, Grade 12: 17–18 year old
This is the normal state of girls almost everywhere.
In today all nerdy girls know of the slutty classmates who sex and drugs,
Emms must know what her ”prince charming” is doing simply by gossip alone,
not to mention her big sis would know all about the sex parties in Hollywood we see in this game
and keep Ems away ... alas ...

immaturity level has nothing to do if one can or cannot go to college. At least for regular ones probably matters more for the better ones.

Steam ban most devs that have school settings. It's not worth the risk.
Steam don't give a shit about "oh, they're 18", if it's set in a school, it's a big fat no.

We're not talking about the risk...we're talking about darkblue having to completely rewrite major parts of the story...not as simple as just 'removing school' references.

Perhaps, but I think you have too high expectations of 18 year old girls. Some are indeed quite mature, others are actually quite immature. It depends for a large part on the upbringing and Emma's has been extremely sheltered.

I can understand Steam's perspective. If they put a no school rule into effect, they don't have to examine every product that comes across their service. The problem with that stance is, they don't inspect every product that comes across their doorstep... How many 1st/3rd person shooters have a setting that you can go across a school ground? I know of 3 immediately and I don't even play 1st/3rd person shooters. And I can guarantee you all 3 are HUGE sellers (which may be the reason Steam ignores it). In any case, you don't have to be 18 to go to college. I knew several people in HS that attended college classes as sophomores and juniors (40 years ago). Classes like advanced calculus, engineering and computer programming were all college courses students could leave HS to attend, and they got both college and HS credit. It's a sad state when politics (and $$$) can over-ride what is considered to be legal.

Steam is very strict when it comes to games with a high school setting
And if a game is denied the dev can't resubmit it for review even if they make changes
I love this game, but I don't think steam would approve it unfortunately
Which sucks because it would be one of my favourite games on there
And a great addition to my collection

That's wrong. At least last I heard. They get one chance to fix/change the game. Then they may resubmit it. If it's still not up to their standards, it's finito.

This is a message another dev got about resubmitting

They could have just been extra diligent with this game
But I think it might be the same for all games

But nothing sexual even happens at the college, just some bullying and a fight scene, so what is wrong with that?

Did you actually read that? It's talking about content that was considered 'pedophilia'. If the dev had of explained the one girl's disease and not used the words 'high school' things would've been different. When presenting a game, you have to be 100% on spot with the description, otherwise it can get banned right off.
