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.
