Note: all sorts of sites claim, that Phantasmagoria 2 released in UK was censored in terms of sex scenes too. This simply is not the case. The censored scenes are first and second murder scenes only. Those were censored heavily in terms of violence though.
<br/><br/>
Second note: the uncut UK version seems to be Windows-only. The censored UK version is Windows+DOS.

== Relevant Files ==
== Relevant Files ==
Length is the duration of the unmodified file from one of the unmodified versions
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 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.

|-
|4391.DUK - murder scene||got replaced by 4395.DUK, an even more heavily censored version than the original censored version included with the uncensored game
|-
|4395.DUK - murder scene||based on the censored version included with the uncensored game<br/>this goes even further and removes basically all the remains of violence<br/><br/>0:27 to 0:29 - original: victim gets punched in the face (bloody), replaced by more of Curtis walking forward in slow-motion<br/>0:34 to 0:35 - original: victim gets nail hammered into one of his hands, also replaced by more of Curtis walking forward in slow-motion<br/>0:41 - original: black+white photo flashback showing nail in victim's hand, this was cut out<br/><br/>you still see that the victim is thrown around and 2 photo flashbacks, but that's it.<br/><br/>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwupfdM77eY to see the censored version, click here]
|-
|8215.DUK - second murder||sex part is completely intact<br/>2:30 onwards<br/>basically the whole murder part of the scene got removed right after the woman spots the murderer<br/>you see that an iron chain is getting thrown over some pipes at the ceiling<br/>followed by an alternate quite long take at 2:35 of her hands being tied up with the iron chain, followed by a fadeout.<br/><br/>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgSTZeG6Gh0 to see the censored version, click here]
|-
|8216.DUK - second murder||the censored version is the same except for the murder part again.<br/>In the censored version from the uncensored game, you at least see that the woman got tied up using the iron chain and that her feet are in the air - struggling.<br/>In the UK version even this was replaced with the already mentioned alternate long take of her hands being tied up with the iron chain at 2:06, followed by the same fadeout.
