They removed the Ether Induction minigame from the Vita version, and they didn't replace it with anything. The reason for this was Expression Restriction.

What a disappointment. It happened the same with Mary Skelter 2 but that game later got an off-site patch that restored the minigame.
I hope EastAsiaSoft don't cower and realease a patch to restore the cut content. Until then I'll be keeping my money.

It's sad, because the game and the characters are pretty fun, not mentioning I was really looking forward to it... now knowing the game was mutilated like that for no reason takes all my enjoyment away.
Why don't keep 2 builds, a an uncensored one for PC and the castarated one for Switch? Why don't add a toggleable option to let the player to choose if they want the minigame or not?
The devs excuse was too stupid, coming from an "anti-censoring" publisher, i think ghe minigame removal was more an internal whim of the publisher than the "fear" they had the game getting taken down (I mean, GOG would've gladly sold it anyway)
Japanese games are having it very hard these days... ;(

EDIT: Asked for a refund. Don't like when prude devs/publishers telling lies triying to "protect" me...

EDIT 2: Got my refund (that was fast) finally, I'm really sad tho, because the game was pretty fun...
If the minigame (and if other kind of censored content we may not be aware) is restored, I'll buy it again. I can't support devs that censor on whim and lie to their customers...

God dammit, I was really looking forward to this one. It crazy how we can get straight up porn games but very tame fan service is forced to be gutted on steam and gog.

Can the minigame be restored? It was pretty easy to restore it in Mary Skelter 2. Hopefully it's similar here as well.

I suspect GoG wanted the minigame removed based on this wording

I hope it can be restored with an off site patch or something. Shame on GoG for not allowing this uncut


Especially when Moero Chronicle is uncut and has the exact same minigame

it's very disappointing gog has h-games i dont care if they need to treat this game the same but i refuse to buy a censored product when that changes i will buy.

I don't think it's GOG's fault, since they permited Mary Skelter 2 to have the minigame patch (and all the hentai stuff they get sell here as well). It feels like GOG is always at fault for whatver stunt some dev/publishers try to pull off.
The way the publisher spokesman (or whatever they are) words it, it seems the minigame was removed long time ago, so when like they presented the uncensored and the censored game to Steam and the game got canceled there anyways and instead of regressing and getting the minigame back, they decided to keep the censored build for both PC (GOG) and consoles. Remember they planned to release the game on Switch as well (it got a physical only release it seems), and you know the kind of politics they have against "offending" (just ecchi it seems) games nowadays
Also, if the publisher is the self proclaimed "anti censoring" publisher they say are, why didn't they made an external patch? taking out all the offending minigame data outside the retail port and add it on a free DLC? They had the Source code of the game, so it would've been possible. Or if that isn't possible, a small warning on the GOG's store page mentioning the removed content "for reasons outside their control" would've been a good idea, I don't think they would've had all the backslash if they were honest with their customers

The devs on X said if they said anything about it it could hurt their chances of a release as GOG was already giving them the runaround. Both GOG and Steam and extremely fickle with anime games as someone that has observed the submission process (usually because whoever gets assigned the submission loves a power trip).

The whole situation is BS as I was looking forward to this. SIGH.

You only need to create an empty file called "Minigame.dat" inside game dir. That will be all.

I would say that those are blatant lies, specially, as you already state, that Moero Chronicle has the exact minigame.

did they really just delete all the reviews because they where low because of the censorship, if so whats even the point of user reviews.

edit

never-mind they are still there the deluxe and standard just have separate reviews for some reason.

Sooooooo... A week has passed since release and no patch or a word if there will be one or not?
Too much for an "anti-censorship" publisher, huh...

I'm not supporting such practice. If u'll license a game to censor it, then don't license and let some other company do a proper job.
