Aegean Kai no Shizuku English translation
エーゲ海の雫 · Droplet of the Aegean Sea
Svipur's complete English translation of the PC-98 version of Aegean Kai no Shizuku, a Myst-like puzzle adventure steeped in Greek myth.
What it is
Svipur translated the PC-98 release of Aegean Kai no Shizuku, a first-person puzzle adventure with detailed pixel art. Doing so meant working out Illusion's own compressed image format, which Svipur documented in the repository for anyone working on the studio's other games. The first version came out in April 2023.
What's translated
The game text and the graphics with writing on them, such as location names, are in English. Version 1.2, from September 2025, adds a fix by OPNA2608 for text that displayed incorrectly in the Code Access mode, which also helps the game run properly on real hardware.
Playing it
The release page explains two ways to patch your own copy of the game: one for a specific hard disk image of it, and a manual method for other versions that swaps in the translated files and patches the main program. The game is played with the mouse; a PC-98 emulator such as Neko Project 21/W works well.
