You are getting the facts wrong. They never said the staff was offended by the content. They said the staff was afraid of legal repercussions. 

 

Also as for Starless, the patch was not bundled with the game. A restoration patch torrent cropped up on the same day the game shipped. The same thing is probably going to happen for Shiny Days (it hasn't shipped yet).

So how is it that they've released so many games with the same content uncensored? Is the team different for every game?

It's not even about her looking too loli, she is confirmed to be under age in game which makes it impossible for Jast to include her in the official release since that would present them with legal issues in a ton of countries.

A lot of people are saying this but I'm skeptical. First, they released Little Witch Romanesque completely uncensored 8 months ago. Most of the h-scenes in that game are you taking advantage of little girls.

 

Second, when someone on the announcement page complained about the censorship JAST's response was that some of the staff had threatened to quit because they personally were offended by it. No mention of legal issues anywhere which would have been the first thing they said if it were true.

 

What's even more puzzling is that there were no issues at all when they translated the rape, scat, bestiality and dismemberment present in Starless. Granted, some of that content was removed as well but it was because those are extreme fetishes rather than controversy and the patch was bundled with the game.

 

So apparently in the last 8 months JAST made some questionable personnel changes involving people who are fine with rape but are outraged at consensual sex with a minor.

I crashed the game when I tried to skip the OP before the first chapter, but when I booted it up again it ran smoothly through all of the chapters. So, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be on my end.

Also, whoever makes a walkthrough for this game will be da real MVP.

Seconding the walkthrough request.

 

No crashes, but I keep running into instances where the skip to next part and skip to next choice function ignore some choices entirely. Didn't realize at first and wound up having to start over completely.
