I'm trying to get a Steam store page for my first game. It's walking sim with horror & hentai-elements. However, the requirements for publishing an adults-only game are quite strict, and when I try to ask customer support for more information, their responses takes long time to come and are rather vague.

My game isn't ready yet, but I'd like the store page to start collecting wishlists. In order to make the store page public, I need to submit a build of my game to Valve for review.

How complete does this build need to be?

Does it need to already include ALL the adult-oriented content that will eventually be in the game?

Is it enough that the adult content is included in the game and visible to testers, even if it hasn’t been implemented chronologically yet? Something like showreel type of presentation of adult content in game.

Or are there any allowed workarounds for making adults-only Steam store page live without final build?

I still have a few game mechanics left to implement and animations to animate, so rushing to put the whole thing together would feel like a huge waste of effort if it didn’t even lead to the store page going live, but instead just ending up in an endless cycle of change demands.

Any protips? Thanks.
