A fully uncensored version of Agony Unrated will be releasing on 31 October, after the game had mysteriously re-appeared on Steam the other week. Madmind Studio has also announced that with the establishing cooperation with Ultimate Games, Agony will also be releasing for the Nintendo Switch by the end of 2018.
The controversial horror title will be free for those who supported the kickstarter, while for players who have Agony already in their Steam Library will have 90% off the price of the game, and for everyone else it will be for $14.99 on Steam.
The game was confirmed on the original kiskstarted page by Madmind Studio stating,
We are aware that the premiere of our first game was disappointing for many players, as numerous technical errors and censored content effectively distracted from the game. We would like to apologize for the mistakes we made and to compensate players for a long time waiting for the UNRATED version, making it available at a significantly lower price.
The studio also added that the Agony Unrated will feature some major gameplay improvements and new features, and will include improved quality of character models and textures, volumetric lighting, Normal Mode and Hard Mode with more puzzles and opponents, and a completely new environment.

Numerous technical improvements to the basic version of the game and much more.Agony was originally planned for an uncensored patch following its launch in June, which was to re-introduce a lot of material that was previously cut to please classification organizations. But this plan was abandoned due to legal issues which led to the cancelling of the project.
Legal statement:
Unfortunately, but the contracts we have in force, both publishing and rating, blocked us from releasing the patch and removing the censorship from the game. Any lawsuit related to the violation of these rules would most likely lead to the closure of our studio. To release Agony Unrated, we had to choose an alternative route and remain in the shadows by announcing the suspension of our work on the game. Today, after a few months since the release of Agony, the deadline for contracts binding us has passed and we can share these details with you. At the moment, the PC is the only platform that gives us the freedom to create the world we’ve come up with. This, unfortunately, means Agony Unrated can never appear as a Digital Edition on consoles. If players and reviewers positively receive Agony Unrated, we will try to get a contract with the publisher who will agree to issue a limited number of copies of the boxed game, both on PS4 and Xbox One. The release of the game in a box version is the only option for the production with the “Adult Only” age rating to appear on consoles.
