But seriously it looks intriguing as heck. Thanks for putting it up.

Honestly this should give you new hope. Since there was absolutely no demand for this game to get translated even I wasn't asking for it and I like the game. So I am saying someone was dedicated to translate this I think anything is possible now haha.

HELL YEAH! I've been checking the site almost daily waiting for this translation to drop!

 

[Lohengramm99]

PS1 era really was special. Full of weirdness and creativity.

 

[Darren]

I've got so many translated horror games lined up for Halloween this year lol I can't wait.

 

[King_Fisher]

Oh my gosh oh my gosh someone translated it. You guys have no idea I am obsessed with this thing I tried combing literally every path of this game on Retroarch with Ztranslate because I think there's a true ending (possibly unused since I never found it) that many never found because in one of the endings there's a epilogue giving the player a missing letter puzzle and in another you get a piece of it. I never found the rest though which is why I consider maybe a true ending was planned but never used. I wonder if the translator found something like that in the files.

No way! I really love Idea Factory, their pre compile heart era is super underrated.

If the kids look like aliens that wanted to cosplay as humans, then im interested in what the "horrors" will look. Time to beat this in the midnight!

And now i cant unsee the Neptunia games in this style....

 

[FR4M3]

Saw it in Hazel's video about weird PS1 games and wished for it to get an English translation. I guess now I'm going to wish for a million dollars or something.

Make sure you buy pro sub here if you win.

Thanks! I remember playing this somewhat with PSVita in Japanese (I actually bought it from sale on PS store) and it's actually all kinds of awesome. I really hope the sequel, 'Yaku Tsuu', will have a translation one day as well. PSX is truly an endless source of Japanese obscure thriller/horror games.

Oh it's a horror game? That explains the cover. That 'ish is nightmare fuel jacked up by a factor of 10 or something.

 

[Waifu4Life]

An Idea Factory game. oh boy.

Pre-Compile Heart, back when all of their games were exclusively published in Japan.

 

[GoodWall_533]

An Idea Factory game. oh boy.

 

[dropsmegamega]

Definitely gonna try this out. Thanks!

 

[Toppis]

its out now what

 

[RageBurner]

"Wait, this game was released officially in English?" was my first response because of the "English" tag unlike the usual "English patched" tag.

You're right, I made a mistake there!
