Mystic Nights English translation
미스틱 나이츠
Jeremy Decola's complete English translation of Mystic Nights, a rare Korea-only PS2 survival horror game.
What's translated
This patch turns the whole Korean game into English: dialogue subtitles, item messages, notes and menus. Jeremy Decola reverse-engineered the game's files himself, and the translation was done together with his partner. The first full release came out in April 2020; later versions refined the patch, and 1.2.2 is the current one.
Tips from the translator
The repository's readme has advice for first-timers: ammunition is scarce, so fighting enemies rather than running past them pays off before bosses, and every enemy type has a weapon it is weak to. It also explains, behind spoiler tags, what decides each of the four endings.
Playing it
The xdelta patch is applied to your own copy of the original Korean disc (not an older patched copy), following the instructions on the creator's GitHub page.
