Secret Kiss is Sweet and Tender is 50% off on GOG. It's a yuri game. It includes the original Japanese script, which is probably a good thing, because there are reviews on GOG and MangaGamer that have nothing positive to say about the English translation. This is the second Medibang release I've seen like this, and I don't want to make assumptions, but...

If you're going to buy this game, you should read it in Japanese.

This game includes 18+ scenes.

Linux Compatibility:

This game and installer work fine with Wine/DXVK, no tweaks required. If you don't know how to setup Wine, try our guide.

To the lemmy.ml user that reported this as CSAM:

If you can convince GOG of the merits of your stance, I'll take action here as well. Otherwise, I'm not seeing it and will not be taking action.

I must admit I only looked at the pictures, looked at the specs, and looked at the reviews. I didn't read the description at all before I posted this. After reading it, I can see how it could be seen as exploitative:

“Ms.Izuho…What does it feel like to be in love?” Konami Izuho was suddenly kissed during her teaching training internship by a student, Ema Serizawa, when they were alone in the classroom.

Konami later found out that this student happened to be the popular illustrator “Ema”, of whom she was a huge fan. On top of that, Ema would soon ask her, “can you help me with my drawings?”

Although Konami thought she would get to look at the new works of her favorite illustrator, what Ema asked from her was quite different. Kissing, bathing together, and sleeping in the same bed were just some of Ema’s requests that left Konami’s heart pounding.

“Huh? Help…means k-kissing or sleeping together?”

Konami’s encounters with Ema confused her and made her go back and forth between feelings of admiration and love. Now, the curtain will be raised on this Romantic Drama.

I can't find any mention of ages, but it seems to be set in a high school, so one of the characters, in the best case, is 18 years old. The student teacher is probably somewhere between 19-21 years old. It's common for visual novels to be set in high school and feature sex scenes between teenagers (though there are plenty of great VNs that aren't), but there is a power imbalance here not usually seen in those games, even if the age gap is small.

I second Neo by saying that if you have an issue with the content of the game, you should contact GOG about it. MangaGamer and itch.io also carry this game. For now, I've marked the post as NSFW, as the GOG page does have some suggestive pictures.
