NTR Hunter Steam Patch & Full Content
Apply Saikey's official patch after buying on Steam to unlock the complete game.
NTR Hunter launched on Steam on July 31, 2026, published by Saikey Studios. The Steam store build does not always ship with the full adult presentation out of the box. Saikey’s launch announcement explicitly says: patch the game after purchase to enjoy the full experience.
This guide covers why the patch exists, where to get it, how to install it safely, and what changes after you apply it.
Why Steam Buyers Need a Patch
Steam has platform rules for adult content. Many Saikey titles ship a storefront-safe build, then provide an official publisher patch that restores the complete Live2D scenes and uncensored presentation matching the DLsite v1.2 release.
If you skip the patch, you may see incomplete scenes, missing visual detail, or a version that does not match community walkthroughs and gallery totals described on this wiki.
Official Download Sources
Only use publisher-hosted files:
- Saikey Studios — NTR Hunter product page — Steam Patch link on the launch materials
- Saikey Studios Patches hub — Central patch downloads for Saikey titles
- Launch news: NTR Hunter is now available
Do not download random “uncensor” zips from unofficial forums. Stick to Saikey’s own patch so you avoid malware and mismatched versions.
Before You Install
- Buy and install NTR Hunter from Steam
- Launch once so Steam finishes first-time setup and creates the game folder
- Close the game completely (check Task Manager if needed)
- Verify disk space — the patch is small relative to the 2 GB install, but keep a few hundred MB free
- Optional: back up your
savefolder inside the game directory if you already started a run
Typical Install Steps
Exact filenames can change when Saikey updates the patcher, but the workflow is consistent across their Steam titles:
- Download the official Steam Patch from Saikey
- Open Steam → right-click NTR Hunter → Manage → Browse local files
- Extract or run the patcher into that game folder (overwrite when prompted)
- Confirm the patch reports success, then relaunch from Steam
- Start a new game or load an existing save and open a Live2D scene to confirm full content
If the patcher asks for the game path, point it at the Steam common\NTR Hunter (or similarly named) directory Steam opened for you.
Steam Features That Still Work
Applying the official patch should not remove Steam integration:
- Cloud saves (when enabled for the title)
- Overlay and playtime tracking
- The seven Steam Achievements
- Automatic Steam updates for the base client build
After a Steam client update, re-check the Saikey patch page. Major Steam depots occasionally require re-applying the publisher patch.
Launch Discount Window
Saikey celebrated release with a 20% launch discount across platforms. Steam listed an introductory offer ending August 14, 2026. If you are reading this during that window, buying now is cheaper than waiting.
DLsite vs Steam Content
| Platform | Content baseline | How to get full experience |
|---|---|---|
| DLsite (Aug 21, 2025+) | v1.2 with official uncensor path via Team18 / Ci-en notes | Follow DLsite / Ci-en patch instructions |
| Steam (Jul 31, 2026+) | Storefront build + Saikey Steam Patch | Download patch from Saikey after install |
| Saikey Store direct | Publisher-managed build | Usually patched by the store download itself |
Story routes, endings, abilities, and the Spirit Realm gallery systems match across platforms once the Steam patch is applied.
Troubleshooting
Patch says folder not found — Use Browse local files from Steam so you copy the exact path. Do not patch a shortcut or a desktop copy.
Game still looks censored — Confirm you closed the game before patching, then verify file overwrite. Re-download the patch from Saikey if the archive was incomplete.
Steam verifies and “repairs” files — Steam file verification can restore storefront files. Re-apply the Saikey patch afterward.
Achievements not unlocking — Stay online, launch through Steam, and finish the achievement conditions described in the Achievements guide. The patch itself does not grant achievements.
After Patching — What to Play Next
- Read Getting Started if this is your first run
- Follow the Walkthrough for missable events
- Plan Pure Love / Corruption / True End with save points
- Track costumes and fishing rares in Costumes and Fishing
- Use the Spirit Realm if you finish with missing scenes

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Do I need a patch if I buy NTR Hunter on Steam?
Yes. Saikey Studios states that Steam buyers should apply the official Steam Patch after purchase to enjoy the full experience. The storefront build alone may not match the complete DLsite presentation.
Where do I download the official Steam patch?
Use Saikey Studios only — the NTR Hunter product page and the Saikey Patches hub. Avoid unofficial "uncensor" downloads from random sites.
Will the patch break Steam achievements?
No. The official publisher patch is designed to restore full content while keeping Steam features such as achievements, overlay, and playtime tracking.
Do Saikey Store buyers need the same patch?
Direct Saikey Store downloads are usually managed by the publisher already. The explicit Steam Patch reminder targets Steam purchases. Check your product page if unsure.
What if Steam verifies files after I patch?
Steam verification can restore storefront files. Re-apply the official Saikey patch afterward, then launch the game again.
