Translation PC-98

Dead of the Brain 2 English translation

デッド・オブ・ザ・ブレイン2 · Deddo obu za Burein 2

WINE's complete English translation of the PC-98 horror adventure Dead of the Brain 2, the sequel to the zombie outbreak story of the first game.

What's translated

The whole game is playable in English. The story picks up shortly after the first game: Cole and Sheila hope to settle down, but a biker gang is roaming town, a body turns up in Cole's apartment and the resurrection drug behind the first outbreak has not been fully wiped out. Compared with the first game, the puzzles are simpler, though some scenes still require trying commands until something works.

Extras

Besides the patch, the team's GitHub repository offers another way to build the translated game and includes the full scripts with notes on how the game engine's scripting works.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the game, following the instructions on the team's page. The team suggests a current PC-98 emulator such as Neko Project 21/W.
