Is there any way to remove the censorship on the GoG version?

dunno. uninstalled. got a refund. now getting it on itch.io.

https: //www .gog.com/en/game/the_book_of_bondmaids_unrated_dlc ?

does not seem to be for sale in New Zealand for some reason guessing because we get lumped in with Australia

Well ... it exists. Shouldnt be too hard to find somebody sharing it, no ? Its free on gog. And useless if you dont own the main game.

Well, i can see the OST for purchase, but not the game.
What is the purpose of that?

It makes no sense...especially when i read this game is behind the age wall but still censored?
Makes even less sense...

Anyway, it seems GOG has not realy a strategy how to handle this category of game entertainement while not to displease their customers!

Unfortunate...

So is there any way to uncensor this?

Fix from user drkderek

Step 1: Navigate to the folder where you installed the game, in a directory called "The Book of Bondmaids". Inside you'll find another directory named "game" (and inside the directory "game" is another directory called "game" - the 2nd "game" directory should be where you need to be). You know you are in the correct directory if what you do next has interaction from the program when you try to play it e.g. parse error message.

Step 2: In said "game" directory, create a new file named "uncensored.rpy", and put the following 2 lines into it:

init -1 python:
persistent.censored = False

(note that the 2nd line must be indented for the renpy parsing to work - aka 4 spaces in front of the line. No there shouldn't be a blank line in between the code as far as I can tell (maybe it depends on the text editor that was used, I used kate in steam deck to edit the file.)
