Death Note: Kira Game English translation
DEATH NOTE キラゲーム · Death Note: Kira Gēmu
Anime Game Translations Team's complete English patch for Konami's Death Note deduction game on DS, with a variable-width font and translated graphics.
What's translated
The Anime Game Translations Team (AGTTeam) translated the story chapters, the discussion and voting rounds, the menus and the in-game graphics, including the speech balloons on the 3D models. The team's tool adds a variable-width font and automatic word wrapping so the English lines fit the small screens. Version 1.3, from January 2025, cleans up a leftover Japanese line and earlier typos.
Credits
