I recently tested the game with an alt Steam account and it seems the dev has added some sort of DRM in the recent update forcing you to have Steam running, if it doesn't find the purchase then it exits the game. 
But I'm assuming DLsite version of the game doesn't have this? Someone check it.
Not sure but it could also be due to the game looking for Steam workshop mods to activate automatically, I'll need to test it more.
Even if I upload future updates, I will still be leaving v1.2.6.20 FULL up so people can still play including for JoiPlay users until someone figures out how to remove that DRM. I don't have the time to look through the files so, I'll be uploading the latest build soon.
Edit1: Removed the steam workshop loaders and the game works now without Steam. This could change in the future though unless if it was just an unintentional side-effect of the new feature.
Edit2: Looks like it only forces the check if Steam is already running, otherwise the game still works with the loaders so JoiPlay users are probably safe but PC users with Steam running will need to remove the loaders.
