Neko Works latest visual novel/gameNekopara Vol. 1arrived on PS4 this week, with the cat ‘n’ cake title making the leap from PC and Nintendo Switch to Sony’s black box, allowing PS4 players to get their paws on the title. And they are none too pleased with it.
In keeping with Sony’s new policy of toning down visual novels – and other heavily sexualised content, alterations have been made to the PS4 port ofNekopara Vol. 1. This includes the removal of a slider that increases… well… “bounciness”, as well as censoring the “Bathing” images, achieved by adding extra steam to the scenes deemed seemingly too steamy.
Nekopara’s“petting mode” remains intact, but PS4Nekoparafans are unhappy with the changes, particularly since the Nintendo Switch release passed without cut. (As an aside, it’s baffling to someone like myself, who grew up in the early ’90s, to read a story where Nintendodidn’tcensor something, but other console giantsdid.)
Fans are making their thoughts heard on social media and via an internet petition.Nekopara Vol. 1is available now on PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch.
