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.
