Baroque English translation
バロック
Plissken's English patch for the original 1998 Sega Saturn Baroque, Sting's grim and cryptic dungeon crawler.
What's translated
Plissken's patch puts the original Saturn release of Baroque into English: dialogue with the strange figures you meet, the subtitled cutscenes, the floor and status screens and the name entry. The screenshots on the release post show the translated text in all of these. Version 1.0.1 was posted in August 2024.
Why it matters
Baroque is best known in the West through its later remake, which reworked a great deal of the game. This patch makes the 1998 original, with its own structure and presentation, playable in English for the first time.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese Sega Saturn disc, following the instructions included with the creator's release. Translation by Plissken.
