Censorship has become all but expected for any given visual novel game heading West (and even other games). Sony has had a somewhat unpredictable track record when it comes to cutting content in games. It seems that one visual novel/puzzle hybrid game is going to be released unedited: Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa.
PQube Games unleashed a trailer for the upcoming game on Twitter and replied to a fan?s question about any potential snags which might stop the game from releasing in the West. PQube replied simply, ?The game has been approved by Sony.? This implies that the full game will see a release outside of Japan, other countries? censorship policies notwithstanding.

Considering that Kotodama features women (and men) whom the player can strip clothing off of just by solving puzzles, there isn?t a whole lot to this fanservice-laden game that appears to differentiate it from other games with similar visuals. So there?s not a solid reason as to why Sony has chosen to censor those games, but not this one. Perhaps the perceived age of the targeted women/men is a factor, but it?s anyone?s guess.
