Key points

Remaster of Princess Maker.
Original graphics have been re-drawn for modern resolutions.
The latest patch which added the Chinese translation also censored the original CGs that had nudity. You might be able to uncensor it by copying over the older pm1_us.dat file into the newer installation (untested). You can grab a copy of the older file (build 4725062) and see the censored CGs (NSFW) here.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/583040/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (583040) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
