I'm 100% sure this is a scam. There is no way a Japanese game dev immediately sell their products overseas without any announcement at all. I'm pretty sure he knew many of his customer is from overseas, he knew the potential market is there. But there is more than just inserting and replacing the graphics but also replacing all the conversation, QA the translation, testing it so it actually fit with the frame and having QA to ensure the game still running smooth after all the changes. It takes time and effort. So immediately selling it on some store without proper announcement is just plain impossible.
For the decensored CGs you can do it yourself if you know how, or just commissioned some shady artist to redraw it just for that one CG.
Also you can made the announcement for overseas sell from your Ci-en blog. Many H-game dev already doing it (and usually followed by their overseas publisher (like Kagura games) announcement). Apart from Ci-en, Wakuwaku doesn't have any other social media presence as far as I know so the only announcement we can get is from Ci-en, or if he really wanted to sell overseas, from his appointed publisher. CMIIW though.
So yeah please don't fall for this scam.
Edit: also lol at the price, there is no way he would sell his game way lower than DLsite price. How'd he pay the translator, Q&A and any legal/contractual fee? It's a scam plain and simple.
I know there are some scams going on itch but most of the time it's being moderated by the staff. I was just sharing the news here, people are free to do whatever with it.
Edit : Nvm, just edited my main post.
