If you're on Germany, you can't even buy on STEAM.
If you're anywhere else in the world, STEAM version is fine, just missing the one CG.
itch.io takes less of a cut of the profits versus STEAM, and includes all intended CGs. Plus buying on itch.io also includes an extra STEAM key, so its what I'd recommend.
STEAM in Germany basically outlawed all adult material, including our game. STEAM doesn't allow the 'breastfeeding' because in their eyes its child-material in an adult-based game, which is a no-no. So rather than try and fight that for a simple ending scene CG, we just removed that bit from the STEAM version altogether.
On the main menu, in the upper right corner you'll see country flags. When you hover the mouse over them, you can see the different languages. English, Spanish, French, Russian, etc...
As I mentioned below, I unfortunately can't offer much help with Android. I only have a PC to test game builds on. As a side note: all purchases of Maid Mansion on itch.io also include a STEAM key upon purchase.

They locked all the mature games there. And Germany was pretty big with sales! So was sad to lose that support, but I should at least be happy that I got the help that I did from such great people when the game was on sale there for the month or so that it lasted. Still, I believe Germans can find it here on itch.io without any problems. :)
Thank you for buying and supporting Maid Mansion - and for sharing your comments. Always good to hear from people! And without fans like you, I wouldn't be able to pursue this as my fulltime passion.
I will say that telling/not telling Umeko and trusting/not trusting Takako are two of the "bigger" decisions in the game. However, it is possible to get Ending 8 while not trusting Takako. Glad you're enjoying finding the different endings! And seems like you might've been close to Ending 18, which is one of my favorites.
We do have a guide if you decide to end up needing help and want to consult it (over on STEAM).
If you're still interested when we release our Free DLC later this Fall, I hope you'll enjoy that as well. More info on that in the news section where I posted an update earlier today. =)
Thank you for your support! The itch.io version of Maid Mansion has the breastfeeding scene, whereas the STEAM version does not. I (Crazy Cactus) am the developer of Maid Mansion; for Slimy Sextet, you'd have to ask Belgerum.
I'd highly recommend reading Jamey Stegmaier's book on Amazon about crowdfunding. Some lessons there are invaluable and easily overlooked by many people (Example: Try and pledge to at least 10 other campaigns on Kickstarter before launching your own). If you don't want to buy the book, many of his lessons are freely available on his website/blog. Lastly, while you might wonder why I'm suggesting someone who specializes in board games - his knowledge and lessons are easily applicable to anything.
Pa Zong and Sarana were backer-funded characters, designed to have specific routes so as to keep the budget in terms of writing and CGs for them, under control. The same goes for all the other backer maids in the game - their "screen time" was limited, because they were designed to be in the game only as supporting characters or simply brief cameos.
As of right now, there are no plans for DLC for the game, as we technically didn't even hit Miyuki's goal from the Kickstarter after one large dropped pledge and a couple others brought it down. The total shown there is not the total raised as it was more like 13.6k when all was said and done (as stated in my update on December 28th 2016).
All good points overall. And with my next game, I'm actually hoping to attempt to write it myself, so I will definitely try to have more of the script devoted to giving people more time with each lady in the main cast. In fact, I actually had 9 character sprites completely done for my next game, but I think I might remove 2 of them from cast so it'll be easier for me to manage.
I also plan to have less endings - with more dyanamic endings so that you technically don't end up with just one girl. Maid Mansion really only had one of these types of endings. I would try to aim for maybe 3 in my next game.
This is all theorizing right now though. I only have the beginning part of the story outlined out, so I'll try and share more as time goes by.
As for an expansion, if I ever did return to this type of setting, I'd probably want to do a new cast and it would be a full-blown sequel. Not like a Part II thing.
For the Pa Zong STEAM card... can't help you there. XD
Hit the 12 hour mark since release not too long ago. You guys and gals are all great. Thank you for playing and hope you're enjoying it. I'll be curious to look and see how many people get certain endings (remember 22 of them) - good, neutral, and bad.
For me as the developer, it would really help more on STEAM for tonight's launch at 9pm EST / 6pm PST. A review if you like it would help even more, as it makes the game more visible on the platform. But I don't want to pressure either way - I just hope that people enjoy it.
38 or 39 of the CGs have h-content. There are 59 total CGs in Maid Mansion. Some other CGs have mild content, not full-blown h-scenes. Each of the six main cast has at least 4 CGs, sometimes 5. There are endings with 8 of the characters, 6 of the mains cast (in logo) and 2 of the backer ladies. The 3 other backer maids have 1 h-scene CG each.
Just as a reminder to all of you here on itch.io -- Maid Mansion will be releasing on November 13th, 2020. For those of you looking to purchase the full game, you may do so here on itch.io, or on other platforms where the game is available, such as STEAM at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/562350/Maid_Mansion/ The game will be available there first at 9pm EST / 6pm PST, then on other platforms during that evening and into the following day. If you do have the chance to add us to your WISHLIST on STEAM, it will keep you updated for when launch has happened.
I do! At: https://www.patreon.com/crazycactus Though I should warn you I haven't updated that in some time (1+ year). I might do a couple posts soon though, in the lead-up to full release of Maid Mansion. Can't promise that though.
