And thats why it is invisible to my friends what i am playing. Not that i would play any hentai games of course.

Is there a way to hide what you're playing other than appearing offline?

How to Edit Your Steam Profile's Privacy Settings

  • With Steam open, navigate to your username on the top of the screen, and select Profile from the drop-down menu.
  • Click the Edit Profile button that's located beneath your Steam Level number.
  • You should see several descending tabs with profile information on the screen’s left side. Click Privacy Settings at the bottom of the list.
  • Mouse over the Game Details and select Private.

I prefer to hide playtime and set myself to Invisible when playing lewd stuff so friends aren't notified. That way people can still see my library and games in common as well as Now Playing status while I'm Online. The only issue is that these games are still visible if someone searches my library, but I don't really care about that, I'm pretty vanilla.

Considering Steam has so many NSFW games, it would be great to have a proper "hidden/invisible" category that keeps ownership and all info about these games private while leaving other game info public. Perhaps also an optional PIN to access them so you can share your PC with friends and family without them seeing your lewd stuff. The current "Hidden" category isn't sufficient.

Just be aware that on multiple occasions having my profile set to private has broken multiplayer, specifically friends being able to find and join me in several games. I think it's really dumb how privacy settings seemingly have in-game effects, but it is what it is.

That's not a "Hentai game", that's a case study on how humans can better their efforts to interact with mollusks!

I don't really care. I play Huniepop 2 when I want.

How does it compare to the first one? I hear they made HP2 harder for some reason

It didn't feel harder to me. Maybe if you skip everything and try to rush the ending without levelling and getting consumables accordingly.
