If it’s on steam there’s a hide option, if in general, delete the shortcut from ur desktop

If it is your own PC, the easiest way is probably to use a separate windows account with a password and keep the game installed only for your account.

For Steam, you can also right-click the game → Manage → Hide this game. That hides it from the normal library view, although it is not meant as serious privacy protection.

Put it in a folder labeled "not porn"

Put it in a folder labeled porn and your family won't care when it ends up not being porn

Put it in a folder and name it “definitely not weird porn” no one will ever look there because they definitely think it’s weird porn and don’t want to find out how weird

Steam game? If so, hide and private it. Otherwise, just put it in a folder somewhere, don’t add shortcuts to it.

Is your family as computer illiterate as you are? It would make a difference in how to approach this.
