"Translation patch is up! Feel free to try it and let me know what you think. As I mentioned in the forum topic, it's a cutscene only translation as I couldn't figure out a good way to translate the audio files as there are problems when fitting the text, I thought of asking for dubs to change the audio files but that would probably change too much the experience. The set will be up soon, thanks for waiting" (by carlosrhv)

The game is a simulation of a digital space, where you navigate trough different file entries, reading, watching or hearing them.. It's a bit slow and disorienting to explore it, so maybe you prefere to just watch this longplay or play it via web browser, which are both fully translated. You can also read more about the game in general in Iwakura's blog!

Attention: Tested and running fine on DUCKSTATION emulator. We couldn't make it run in retroarch cores.

I like searching for cool hacks and translations of old games that were left in Japan. All translation and hacking credits go to their respective authors. I don't translate games :)
