Yeah it got updated to parity with the steam version relatively recently (relatively being like, around a month ago), changelog in the main post.
Depending on how quickly the patreon version gets updated with new content though we might be seeing another steam update sooner than expected, since the devs have tended to try release steam builds and pateron builds closer together when they drop massive content changes like the one that's probably coming up with the dynamic sex system.
Of course, we can't know for sure until the update drops, so we'll see.
From the first post. Specifically, I believe I used the racaty file host. If you're having trouble opening up the file you downloaded, make sure you have a program like 7zip installed. Windows doesn't support opening up .rar archives on its own.
For the gays out there deciding whether it's worth trying this game out: as of 0.3.28, there's a grand total of two mlm sex scenes in the entire game, both of them with slave NPCs.
The first one is to the east of the starting location, where you can top a slave locked in the stocks as punishment, provided you have a horse-sized penis.
The second one is to the north, where you can pay a slave trader 50 gold to be topped by an enslaved centaur. The scene is bugged: regardless of what gender your player character is, their moans will be feminine.
To elaborate a bit, judging by the state of development so far, the game skews heavily towards pandering to the straight male gaze:
There are no random hostile male encounters: all enemies you face on the regular are either women, or petrified women, or skeletons, or animals (there's a one-time boss encounter with a statue with a masculine silhouette, but compared to the way the game approaches fights with women it's not sexualised at all; it's more of an exception that proves the rule).
There are numerous corpses strewn about the game map which are either petrified and nude, at times locked in sex, or frozen solid in a stream of ice. It's all done meticulously, with many variations, and it's evident a lot of care has been put into these models. None of them are men.
The assumption on the game's part seems to be that you are going to play as a woman, since you are assumed to be a straight guy and that's the character you are going to see scantily clad or nude all the time. Armor for women includes helmets and collars, sashes and skirts of various make, ornate jewelry and the like. The only piece of clothing available to men is the bandage wraps you start the game with and their color variations. None of the items' descriptions indicate they are gender-locked, but trying to equip any garment except the wraps is impossible. Some peaceful male NPCs wear animalistic mask-helmets, but those are unobtainable.
Physical transformations available to the player are numerous, but only two of them have a male counterpart: human and, as of very recently, jackal. Other seven are female-only.
Models for women are all high-femme, minimal muscle definition, wide hips and narrow shoulders, unsupported back-breaking boobs to the wind kind of affair. Wlw sex scenes exist, but they have a distinct straight porn feel to them.
There is a quest-essential unskippable sex scene with a female void spirit. The game acknowledges male void spirits exist, there is a void spirit penis transformation, but the spirit you encounter is invariably female.
And so on, and so forth.
Fellow gays, beware. The gay tag it is very much in fine print at the moment.
P.S. Dear straight men, this post is not a callout in any way, shape or form. I too enjoy being pandered to on occasion. This is just a note to those for whom this game might not be their cup of tea.

It's entirely worth noting that this scene is intended to only work for female players, especially since it's the same scene and subquest that got the game its pregnancy tag due to having a heavy impregnation theme baked into it. The quest's dialogue, description, and even the sex scene's sound effects all back that up.
So I'd argue that it being accessible for male players is legitimately a bug, and that only the other mentioned scene was actually intended as such.

lack of m/m isn't issue for me, but in general I think it would be nice if there was a strong/weak tag system in this forum, it's often hard to find stuff that focuses on specific thing you want among everything that has it happen like once

As far as I recall, when I played through the interaction, I managed to pick and choose the dialogue options that didn't have overt female-centric undertones. The scene is a grunt track and some dialogue greying-out away from being a serviceable mlm scene. If there really was no intention for this scene to be something people of any gender can enjoy, I hope the development team sees this not as a bug to be corrected by restricting which models are eligible for it, but as an opportunity to expand the game to be more inclusive.

We're likely looking at a sidegrade anyway, based on what I've seen about plans for the dynamic sex system. It looks like the new system is being set up in such a way that scenes they implement for it are broadly applicable to a wide range of characters. That is, however, based on extrapolation from their public comments and statements. We'll know more once the new system (And the one scene currently implemented for it) is rolled out this month.
so... any updated link? gofile doesn't have the exe file, and racaty/the rest someone already said doesnt work + those hosts are slow as balls anyway. Mega link maybe?

The racaty link is still the same link I downloaded the file from. I honestly just think they don't know how to unzip a .rar archive. As for mega, no. Those don't stay online long enough to bother with, since the devs DMCA them.
Looks all right to me:
Did you do anything unusual that might break it, like trying to go straight to the urn without the quest, or using a save from a different version of the game?
I Really Need Help With That issue, i have old saves files and dont know how to replace the old saves with the new version of the game, need to know if there is a new location for the game save file, and how to make my old saves files works for the new ver of the game, thank you in advance

Save files are located in %localappdata%\Carnal_Instinct\Saved\SaveGames. I strongly recommend deleting the existing saves and starting from scratch, if you're coming in from an older version.

It's not worth it using old saves because the game might become broken. I started a fresh new game and I had no problems - beside being stuck at the treasure chest screen which is easily fixed by saving and loading. All the quests worked for me.
We officially have more information about the incoming dynamic sex system:
Text-searchable variant:
So the idea is that you'll meet NPCs around in the world and when you choose a scene it'll take you to the location for that scene. Some will just be on the ground nearby, others in an alleyway, but some will be the interior of a rich house, a palace, or places like the void.
A guard might "detain" you, and give a unique DSS scene, but that same guard will also be available for some interactions on the floor or against a nearby stall. The world will eventually be full of locations - it just allows us to have a balance between having some level of curation to our content whilst players are still able to experience it anywhere in the world.
