No. My game is aimed to teens and adults, because it's not for less age, but doesn't contain explicit nudity of any kind. 

Thanks for asking as it gives me the opportunity to explain. Let me detail the answer, please:

The description on Steam is this:

There can be some poetic or metaphorical descriptions of intimate acts, but nothing explicit.

This means that if the characters have some kind of intercourse, the description will be more emotional than phisical, and the images will not show explicit nudity or acts. 

There can be some clothing that shows parts of cleavage, legs, equivalent to a bikini in the females, and bare torso on males.

This is the typical clothing of fantasy characters : like Red Sonja, or Conan. 

There can be some veiled nudity occasionally.

Maybe at some point some may appear with a sheet or fabric covering the parts, like in classical art, and you can suppose they don't wear more clothing, but won't be shown explicitly. 

..... 

The stories on the game that affect the relationship between the warrioress and the wizard will be focused about love, trust and slow growing emotions, true compromise in true love. They won't be about them having intercourse. 

The messages I want to give in the game are about true slow growing love, equality in a couple, good role models that combine respect and strength for both. 

I know it's not the typical, but I want to depict the contrary to a fast, toxic, and dominant relationship, both for man and woman. She is not a toy of some man, but a goddess, and he's not a puppet of some romcom, but a powerful wizard. They don't need the other, they like the other. 

I want her and him to be equal, strong and heroical, and a couple that grows together because of their inner compatibility, overcoming the challenges. 

Thanks again for asking and please ask whatever other doubt you may have :)

I see you left a 1 star rating. I clearly tagged my game as using AI, which is allowed in itchio and we are asked to do it this way.
This games is not for you if you hate AI. 
I tagged it so people like you who don't like AI can filter out. I don't understand why you are rating it low if you have not even played it, and it's for a reason that is clearly marked. 
I am following the rules, and you are rating low anyway.

By the way, I use AI as a part of a process that includes that I draw and paint my graphics, use trainings I made, and styles I made. 

You are only rating low and saying this because you hate AI. Please delete it, I respect your views (I don't share them), so respect me.

By the way, it's the dev who reads the reviews. Tell your friend too. I am reporting you and the other dude. 

I see you are not even an active itchio member. You just registered one day ago. 

Know that most of users just don't care about the rating. 

And I also don't care bout your ratings and opinions as they are clearly full of prejudices and hate. 

By the way, none of your childish words hurt me at all. 

I recommend you to delete your comments and review, as it's just making you look ridiculous.

You are doing ridiculous things, creating one account 1 day ago to just rate my game down.

I am not over-reacting. You area a troll and I'm reporting you.

It is very clear that you are against AI, and your comments show it. You started asking if it was nsfw, then said this. Sorry but I was not born yesterday

I can simply delete your comments but if you do yourself, you may at least have some dignity. If you don't, you are just showing yourself as an angry, ridiculous troll that goes to someone's game to without even trying it, make an angry comment. It's ok if you are 9 years old,  but above that, you are just ashaming yourself.

That look very good too Louis. Glad to find another fellow AI user and artist. But in your case, you're actually starting from real pencil drawing which is amazing. I always thought AI was a time saver but, you still have to put effort and sweat if you want it to look good. I am still figuring the best workflows.

I am a fan of RPG and fantasy games, I would be very much interested in Caverns and Dryad when it will come out. I would also leave a review. Be sure to make an announcement when ready.

Thank you very much! :) Yes, I consider it a tool that allows you to do what had taken ages to do otherwise. It's great for solo developers!
You can download the Android version now, I just added a release and deleted the old one, so maybe that is why the download button didn't appear.
There's also a Windows version that will be soon on Steam!
I also love the game you are making, it has a great atmosphere, and will surely try it! :)
