Why was the game censored?

Here's a screenshot from the game, you can compare it with the screenshot of the same scene on the store page: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1594601560

Here's the picture from the store page:

hmm, what chapter is this again?

[Alligator]

It's very early in the game, after the sandstorm section.

Then why would they have the uncensored screenshot on the store page? I think more likely they did it to get that E rating from ESRB.

Found it, its at the end of the second Red Chapter

Looks like your version is censored too :(

sorry but... do you really care about this? in a game of this kind...you found the most irrelevant detail

[Kein Zantezuken]

Sweet-sweet age rating and all the sales tend to do that. Not that it really matters as someone else pointed out.

Censored? gross

[GameZard]

They censored it to put it on consoles for babies.

Because 'Murica. Having someone's head blown off with a shotgun and splattered against the wall is less of an issue than implied lady-bits.

Ironically that's the *exact* image I see on the background for this very thread. WITH lady-bits.

Are they seriously removing nipples from statues on a videogame in 2018 ?

Would devs care to comment if there are any plans to remove the censorship in the future?

Free The Nipple Now, IDK , to me they´re statues in-game so shouldn´t be a problem but that´s just me. (Note that i literally started playing yesterday and i love the art and music, reminds me a bit of journey)

I would not hold my breath waiting for that to happen, if I were you. That... well, let's just say it's against habit.
