Relevant Files
Even the uncensored game offers an option to remove/change certain scenes. When this option is enabled, different files are used. This here is a list of the the relevant files. It also includes special versions of some files - for example the UK version does not contain some uncut files at all and it was censored even more than the original optionally censored file.

Censorship differences
This goes into detail about the changes made to the UK censored version.
scene | details |
second murder | sex part is completely intact 2:30 onwards basically the whole murder part got removed right after the woman spots the murderer you see that the iron chain is getting thrown over some pipes at the ceiling followed by an alternate quite long take at 2:35 of her hands being tied up with the iron chain, followed by a fadeout the actual murder was completely removed |
