You maybe already found how to do it, just in case: go where you have it installed and put the patch rpa file inside the folder called 'game' (should work right away when you launch the game again)
I am very curious as to what your game had to break steam's rules. It can't be the sex alone because steam legit has games like House Party which is a sex simulator...https://store.steampowered.com/app/611790/House_Party/
here is link for those that don't believe me.
Is it because you live in a country where sex games are banned on steam or did you game have like rape... or something involving minors? Also shouldn't you still be able to put a patch on itch.io?
For example, the game Requiescence by Argent Games don't have the NSFW patch on steam but put it on itch.io. That games sex scenes happen to also have a few basically rape parts... but yea even if steam may restrict indication of rape, apparently itchi.io doesn't.
It would be nice if you could explain what's stopping you from actually putting the NSFW content back up. *update*Oh wait... i just realized you seem to be working with Y! Press Games... oh geez, I wonder if has anything to do with that... they aren't even that good of developer... two games i played from them both had awful writing and plot. just pure smut w/ good art.
Bought this on steam and I really appreciate the writing. Particularly how it deals with "coming out" because even after the fact it feels like a big thing every time it comes up. Even if the people around you are supportive, every time you talk about something related to it, it feels more real.
Hi there! You really should update the description that the NSFW patch is no longer available, and that it's not an 18+ game anymore. I almost bought this game as I had been eyeing it for a while but thankfully happened to read the comments first and tried to access the download for the 18+ patch and saw the note before I purchased. It's understandable if you had to take it down for various reasons, but it should be made clear for anyone looking to buy it. :)
So, is there no chance of hosting the 18+ patch somewhere else? I just found out about this game and it mentioned to download the 18+ patch if you wanted it. And uhh... I wanted it :(
That's a pretty big take back for anyone that bought it already. :-( And going to make me rethink buying more games in the future... is there nothing that can be done?
Hi! The new NSFW patch isn't working for me in the any of their routes at all with the 1.1 update. I've followed the instructions, re-downloaded the game a few times, and restarted the route, but 18+ scenes still aren't showing up. Help?
It's been 2 months and I'm still having the same problem and haven't gotten any response. It seems like this was a problem for other people but something got figured out for them?
The new NSFW patch is not working but Jin route is unlocked but no 18+ scenes so i don't know if I need start the route again to see it, how do you know it's working pls help
Sentimental Trickster (ST) has a lot of great aspects going for it, but there are some things that are a little iffy. Let's start with the positives!
First, I was blown away by the depth of subject matter and emotional vulnerability. I actually cried when Haru had *that talk* (no spoilers?) with his mom outside the house. It was exactly the kind of reaction from your mom that you'd would hope for when having *that talk.*
Similarly, the story line and subject matter with "Mr. Teacher" was surprisingly intense and emotionally raw. Again, I was really pleased with how well the writers and developers handled such sensitive topics, especially with an 18+ game. Usually story and character development don't get priority when 18+ scenes are involved, but that's not the case with ST.
Now, onto the iffy things... Unfortunately, ST fell victim to what many visual novels fall victim too: a very unrealistic development of love. What I mean with that is Haru becomes SO in love with these men he's only known for a number of weeks, and nothing really ever happens that would explain why he fell in love so quick and intensely. Specifically, after several weeks of enduring all the dangerously toxic behavior from "Mr. Photographer," Haru was still SO in love, and it's just wildly unrealistic.
It's hard to ignore when Haru is making these super irrational decisions with nothing to justify or explain why he feels that way, BUT 80% of visual novels have this issue, so it's not a make or break situation.
All in all, I think ST delivered a very solid visual novel, especially considering it's 18+. 4/5 stars!
I really liked this game and the patch for steam worked without issues first try, I was just wondering how to get some CGs I'm missing, are those for bad endings?
I unlocked all the good endings so they can't be for those :( plz help, I need closure 😂🌚
Hi, I noticed there's a voice volume option in the settings but so far I haven't heard any of the characters speak, maybe I accidentally deleted something?
Can someone point me to the right to direction to enter Jin's route? I put the patch in my game files (I'm sure it's the right location cos the xxx CGS for the other couples still work) and even opened it with note pad so I know the jin route lines are in there but I can't find any options to enter his route. I even followed a guide but when it comes to the phone convo with the mom where you "choose" a lover I only get soichiro, kanae or shinya and if I ignore it it just goes into Soichiro's route. Did I update my game wrong or something (all I did was put the patch in) or am I missing anything?
Very excited to play Jin's route, but I think I'm going to wait a little bit--compared to the "general" part of the game and other routes, the coding is a bit bare-bones. Expression changes/emotions will be mentioned in the narration (ie: I blushed/was shocked/etc.) or dialogue will indicate a change of emotion/state, but the on-screen sprites don't change, and there's a glaring lack of music/background noise. So, while I'm sure the route is playable and enjoyable, I think I'll wait until it's been polished a bit more so it's even MORE enjoyable 😉.
But thank you to the creator for making this incredible game, words cannot express how much I love Haru and his sass and sarcasm, and I really respect him as a character/person! Also, your humor is on-point, and I appreciate how you handle heavy topics. This is a very well-done game on the whole, and I'll be replaying it lots in the future, I'm sure ❤
I've finished Jin's route and I'm 100% in love with it. There's a maturity with his route that I felt even Soichiro's lacked, not that that route was any less serious. I don't know, Jin's route just hit different because he wasn't in the closet, he came with his own baggage but he overcame it more or less on his own, with slight nudging from Haru.
Ayumi was a sarcastic sweetie pie and I adore her. The grandpa needs to go, with his judgemental self.
Plus, that smut scene though? *chef's kiss* J'adore. Pfft jkjk, it was really neat and again, it felt more mature. The lead-up and how careful Jin was with Haru, that's how ya first time should be with the person you love.
in Harus and Kanes love scene, when they speak just after its a little confusing, the wording is wired. it feels like the first part should be Kanes, but changed to "Wouldn't want you" and then Haru would be the speaking right after. Don't want to hate on the game or anything, Like it a lot. That part was just so confusing for me.
some parts, with when they are speaking or not is confusing as well. Think you have to look it over again. Sometimes the texst seem to indicate that something is being said, but there is nether name or "" signs pressent. So then your left with...wait was that said outloud or did the chacracters just get super powers.
Hey, think the backgrounds are a little off in Shinyas route, at a lot of difrent moments, the background seems to be of the wrong place. Don't want to go into to much detail, so that I don't spoil, but it have been a little confusing to have the chracters talk in one place and then suddely see another place mid conversation, or having a chracter going to one place but that place being the wrong place and being confused that the text doesn't match it.

I think I have the patch still, but how do you install it, or where do you copy it to. Not playing through steam.
You maybe already found how to do it, just in case: go where you have it installed and put the patch rpa file inside the folder called 'game' (should work right away when you launch the game again)

100% agree
So, is there no chance of hosting the 18+ patch somewhere else? I just found out about this game and it mentioned to download the 18+ patch if you wanted it. And uhh... I wanted it :(
the 18+ patch is gone what happened?
Hi, we had to take it down because of Steam restrictions, sorry.
oh ok
That's a pretty big take back for anyone that bought it already. :-( And going to make me rethink buying more games in the future... is there nothing that can be done?
Is it just steam, or is the itch.io version not 18+ either?
Steam and itch, sorry, but there's nothing we can do :(
It's okay! I understand. I was just wanting to check.

Please tell me,how do I get 18+ scenes when I purchased from steam?

Wow, I just finished Soichiro's route. Pretty sure I made a bad mistake. I'm kind of devastated, but it was very good.
Ok, after 2 bad endings, I finally got a good ending with Soichiro. :)
Congrats, I'm happy you managed to get the good end! :)
Hi, I noticed there's a voice volume option in the settings but so far I haven't heard any of the characters speak, maybe I accidentally deleted something?
Hi, unfortunately, there's no voice acting, so everything works as it should.
how can you tell if you installed the patch correctly, before starting a new game?
Hi, you need to go/skip to the phone call with Haru's mom, and there should be a Jin option.
ahh, ok ty vm
I can't activate jin's route. when it gets to the phone call with the mom he just isn't an option
Hi, did you download the patch and drop the file into [Location on Your Computer]\SentimentalTrickster-1.0-win for windows?
yes
I'm not sure what's wrong. Could you show me a screenshot of your game folder with the patch, please?
btw I notice that some of the gallery is locked. like with shinya's car scene i have most but missing one with a lock on it.
nevermind, I was being an idiot.
also I tried installing the nsfw patch but it doesn't seem to work I tried adding it to the folder but nothing happens.
nvm, I fixed it...I'm a real idiot.
LMAO. I love how you say you have a problem and then fix it. I have to try the game (have it on steam) and now I need to see if I need the NSFW patch.
ADDED: Do need and now installed the patch. Happy I found this comment

Hi, you need to download the whole game again, then patch it.

I'm a backer trying to reach the creator. No one response on the kickstarter.
Hi, I'm sorry for the wait! I've just sent you your itch.io link.
Thank you
...I am drooling over the hipster dad...
