Censored?

[JunglePredator]

It seems all the "vn authors" on steam are chicken & release a product that is significantly censored from the original language product.
I'm wondering if this got he same treatment?

The game was never an "adult title". No sex or nudity in the first place to censor. There is one fanservice shower scene but I don't think they'll censor that.

the game IS an adult title, rated M with sexual content, nudity, extreme violence and heavy language, and no, it's not censored, at all. enjoy the full game which should be age gated on steam.

Steins Gate was never an Adult game to begin with so no, nothing is censored.

No nudity or H scenes as much as we wanted to see Kurisu nude. (Sorry folks, you'll have to Rule34 that sutff instead)

[JunglePredator]

Any other censoring beyond that however? "Adult" doesn't mean nudity.

Censoring could include anything the "author" is afriad of like torture, politics, items deemed illegal by the US (since it's on Steam the country of the authors origins seems to matter less sadly... I'd expect value to differ from say an Iranian).
How many things are changed from the original for no sensible reason i.o.w.? (Not because of translation problems.)

I pretty sure he meant Adult Only title.

By adult I meant sex and stuffs, though I can't recall any sexual or nudity content aside from the shower scene, which I thought was quite tamed. Still I guess that could warrant an M rating but if that's the case that seems to be the scene's sole purpose cause there's no other fanservice scene...

Nothing is altered at all. The game already came out in the West on PS Vita after all.

Apart from a shower scene I think the only thing "lewd" is the stuff with Moeka later on but that's not really erotic at all and certainly not played for laughs in any way.

this game has a M rating for A LOT more reasons than that... do you even read the dialogue or look at the gore?

It's diffucult to tell since the game just came out, if you want to play it and make sure you're getting the full thing, get the "JAST" version. It's also better transalted from what I've heard.

Jast version is inferior, and translation is exactly the same.

Yeah the translation is the same except for the phone ui, but it is such a minor thing it isn't worth the lower quality art of the JAST version

Been a while since I played the game and I'll be honest I'm not 100% clear on how the rating system works. However I do hear that developers of visual novels try to get a more mature rating cause apparently it sells game so I was assuming that. Beyond that I cannot contribute further to the discussion. That said thinking about it the scene where Okabe tried to get the phone from Moeka would almost certainly qualify the rating I suppose..

Dialogue-wise I do not remember anything that would warrant an M-rating but I'll take your word for it since it's been a while. As far as gore goes I don't think there was anything explicit. Certainly there was blood and corpses but I wouldn't put those at M-rating either (the most explicit one I can think of is Mayuri being shot in the head. Maybe there are more that I'm missing). Again, I'm not certain how strict the rating system is so I guess it could easily fit an M-rating.

It was rated 15+ in Japan. ESRB doesn't have anything between 13+ and 17+, so they had to pick one or the other.

any depiction of gore, aka, your 2nd to last spoiler is automatically M rating in the states.
