Zahra is such a perfect wife, can't wait to see a decent sharing scene of her. Amazing game, much thanks to the dev

compressed version?

Is there a patch that restores the cut/censored scenes?

No, but someone posted, the old game versions, with the old artwork which were replaced.
Never heard about cut / censored scenes in this game.

Fingers crossed that nothing like that happens to this game and that Zetan won’t be forced to censor it because of recent events and Steam’s new censorship rules. Still, I’m not feeling too confident, since even mainstream games that aren’t sexual to begin with are starting to censor the most subtle references to anything remotely sexual.

From the dev "We will also upload any hotfixes for serious issues found as separate patches here if needed!
The Android version will be uploaded later, as it takes a bit more time. In the meantime, you should be able to use Joiplay and play the PC version on android."

Can you (or someone else) reup that file?

Some of the content with Ain, maybe more.

But since even connoisseurs of the game can't say anything about what exactly was cut (and whether it was), I'm guessing these aren't notable elements enough for anyone to pay attention and at least list them here.

That's not true. If you play the earlier versions, you can see that they were much more brutal. Play the scene where Zaton first confronts the raiders in their own base for example. It's been toned down quite a bit probably for the Steam release I think. I suspect though that is it not censorship per se, but more of a recalibration, to allow more escalation in brutality and domination as the game progresses.

I started following this game around 2021, starting with version 0.5 and onwards. Of course, I might have missed something over the years, but relatively recently (after the release of 0.17 where old saves stopped working), I had to replay the game once again. Personally, I didn't notice any change towards less brutality in the scene where Zaton, along with Asha, storms the raiders' base.

And that “I suspect” of yours doesn't seem like a certainty that such censorship took place either. Again, I'm not making any assertions, I'm just saying that I personally haven't noticed any difference between that "old DS" and the new one (reworked v0.17+). Asha still beheads that raider, there's still blood and violence, there are still various vraiiants of sex scenes on the base itself. If you have specific examples of censorship, cite them. Personally, I don't remember any.

There was a bit of discussion around post #21,400 where people were discussing what was removed or changed.

I just played the earlier version of the game from the early days and holy shit . People were right . It was hella violent , brutal and taboo . It has gotten soft a lot now . Gosh I wish we lived in a world where this game was possible . It is even darker than raptus

I played 0.1 version , I will check out the later versions to see how more stuff was removed .

edit 1- The ain and zahra scene that was cut that in the new version happens a lot later

- She is told to be daughter and not given upto us to decide

- Few dialogues were also cut

- It is shown that Ivy head is cut off and her body is eaten , graphically

Edit 2: It seems 0.2 already censored the brutal fight at the start and the ivy death and cannibalism scene

Some of the cut content from the very beginning, where Ain is being held close by Zaton.
Zaton shoos Ain away without any physical closeness (for some reason...) in the updated/cut version.
