Jesus: Kyoufu no Bio Monster English translation

What's translated

All of the game is in English: the command menus, the conversations with the crew of the station, the investigation text and the story scenes, through to the ending. Niahak had translated the script years earlier but had to cut it down to fit the game, so Pennywise of Stardust Crusaders hacked the game to make room for the complete text. The patch was first finished in 2012, and the revised "3 Days Later Edition Rev 2" followed in 2016.

The game

You play Hayao, a young crew member of the space station Jesus. When contact with another ship is lost, the investigation turns into a tense hunt for a creature that has slipped aboard. Play is menu-based: look, speak, take and move until the story moves on, with a few tougher moments near the end.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Famicom game, following the instructions on the group's project page.
