Indeed.

Interesting it's getting print coverage, but then, you did say the PC market is a bit different in Japan.

I refuse to believe you went on Japanese Google, typed in '雪', and got this back as an image. Admit it: this game is on your PC, probably un-played until an hour or two ago, but even you were unable to resist the lure of its siren call. 

I inserted your comment into google translate, and this is what I got:

"I looked for H-scene pics from this game on google and came up empty - you must have a copy of the game - can I has plz?"

LOL, j/k.  I don't use google (shutchomouth), but my search engine came up empty as well.  But suffice it to say, CG sets of the game exist in places that post such things.  As for actually playing the game...I keep spreadsheets of all the games I've played (otherwise I'd never remember some of them), and the last time I played a visual novel was 2015.  And I've never played Snow.

You mean because it's got sex in it?  This is Japan, son.  ALL PC games have sex in them, and half of the console games on the market are just THOSE same games with all of the sex scenes removed.  Snow has a PS2 release as well, all naked hijinks removed.

The real question is, WHO buys the censored console versions of all of these games?  Especially since the uncensored PC release is always first, with the console port usually following a year or more later.  It would be like choosing to watch the PG-13 cut of Rebel Moon if Snyder's R-rated director's cut were already on the market.  Why would you?
