Twilight Syndrome: Tansaku-hen WIP English Translation Update #1

[Hikaru1057]

Just gonna post this here just to remind most Suda51, Survival horror, Adventure Games, Human Entertainment And J Horror Fans that there is a translation in the works, video is made by blamerobots who is also the translator for this game:

This translation comes from years ago, I don't believe is going to happen anytime soon, if ever.

It's a pity, because Twilight Syndrome series (and Moonlight Syndrome as well) are very interesting games, but very hard text ones. Luckily, the japanese isn't too difficult and if you use the OCR translator together with some japanese knowledge, it is really fine.

"Don't be afraid. After all, you're going to experience things much more terrifying."

Well, I'm sold!

Have you check the twitter account of Blamerobots? I actually followed him, and he also states that the progress is insanely fast but smooth (on discord), from the fact that it goes from a help wanted post, to easily 5 out of 12 chapters (if you actually merge tansaku and kyūmei hen as one game) basically done, so it will likely happen by the end of the year or the beginning of 2025, also what you are viewing is what he notes:
There's a few spelling, grammar and newline errors but these'll get fixed, just wanted to put this video out there to prove that it's being worked on and that progress is slowly happening :)

There are also subtitles for all of the spoken dialogue but I disabled it for this video because sometimes it's prone to bugs, timing issues and crashing. But rest assured they're there and programmed in. Check my twitter for footage of that.

Yeah...the issue of Twitter is that you can't see anything without an account, isn't it? because I don't have any account of any social network other than LinkedIn for work. Ohh, and Instagram but I only use it in the PC and maybe once or twice a month, and also I don't remember why I created it...

But if you have the info, then it's good news. I hope these games get more love by being translated into proper english :)

You can if you use the Nitter frontend.

You can if you use the Nitter frontend.

I've checked, but I read this in the Github:

Running a Nitter instance now requires real accounts, since Twitter removed the previous methods.
This does not affect users.
For instructions on how to obtain session tokens, see Creating session tokens.

This is like when I used SoundNode, the SoundCloud desktop app, it requires the user token in order to access to the API to work, so you need a real account. Otherwise you can't play anything.

xcancel.com still works (most of the time).
